Hello Ralf, Tassilo, Many thanks for the fast responsiveness. >>> Why do you set the default value from its standard setting? >> It's recommended in the manual. See (info "(auctex)Top"). (c: Indeed, I'm a disciplined user who reads and applies user manuals ;-)

You're right, changing tab-width failed too... I have to look elsewhere. FYI: > I have the same behaviour when I execute (setq TeX-master"hdr") from the > minibuffer. >>Huh? What's that good for?

Well, maybe I'm confusing things, but I wanted to check that I could change the TeX-master value attached to that buffer. (I did not expect it would solve the problem, but just wanted to check that TeX-master was not stuck to nil). Thanks again. I'll check further...

See (info "(auctex)Top"). (c: Oh, I see. It's a bit strange that the first page of a manual tells users to change default values. I don't see exactly how nil and dwim for TeX-master differ. I have dwim, and when I create a new tex file I'm also queried for the master file. BTW: the dwim value isn't documented in the manual.
