It simply adds proper code to the preamble, but you could also have added it. So, we have no way to say whether forward/reverse search is going to work or not... and one doesn't really have to push that button, see below. > 2) I didn't have srcltx package. It is not in chkconfig.ltx. Should it ? Maybe. However, you don't really need it. Simply redefine the LaTeX->DVI converter as "latex -src-specials $$i" and that's it (in this case you don't need to push the enable search button). > 3) Having the dvi with TeX source, .... the forward search somehow always > brings me to the top of the first page. That is because no source specials are embedded in the dvi file. If you use yap, the menu "Tools->Source Links..." brings up a window with the associations. However, the fact that the previewer jumps to the top of the first page means that it works... -- Enrico
