<p class="noindent">When you are reading a document in the preview
window and see something to change, it is convenient to go
immediately to the corresponding place in the source. To do so,
hold down <span class="keystroke">Ctrl</span> (Mac OS X:
<span class="keystroke"><img src="images/MacCmdKey.png" alt=
"pict" /></span>) and click at the appropriate place in the
preview; the cursor will move and highlight the corresponding
location in the source window. The same is true in the other
direction: <span class="keystroke">Ctrl</span> <img src=
"images/LMB.png" alt="pict" /> in the source will highlight the
same line in the preview window.<span class=

<div class="OSspecificLogo OSWindows"></div>Here a remark for users
under Windows: this only works if <b>all</b> the names for

example, your document is in <tt>C:\Documents and

"x31-320005.2" name="x31-320005.2"></a>Special comment strings</h3>
<!--l. 20-->
<p class="noindent">Special comments, at the very beginning of the
files, can be used to manage two other aspects of the compilation.
<!--l. 22--></p>
<p class="indent">By default, T<sub>E</sub>Xworks uses the “utf-8”
encoding<a id="dx31-32001" name="dx31-32001"></a> for loading and
saving files, but some files could be saved in another encoding.
Common ones are “latin1”<a id="dx31-32002" name="dx31-32002"></a>,
which is the dominant encoding on Windows when using western
languages, and “Apple Roman” which is dominant on Mac OS.
<!--l. 24--></p>
<p class="indent">To set a different encoding<a id="dx31-32003"
name="dx31-32003"></a> for a specific file one can put the
following at the beginning of that file:<a id="dx31-32004" name=
"dx31-32004"></a></p>
<div class="fancyvrb" id="fancyvrb10">
<a id="x31-32006r1" name="x31-32006r1"></a><span class=
"ec-lmtt-10x-x-109"> </span><span class=
"ec-lmtt-10x-x-109"> %</span><span class=
"ec-lmtt-10x-x-109"> !TeX</span><span class=
"ec-lmtt-10x-x-109"> encoding</span><span class=
"ec-lmtt-10x-x-109"> =</span><span class=
"ec-lmtt-10x-x-109"> latin1</span>
</div><!--l. 29-->
<p class="indent">Note that without this line, you must tell
T<sub>E</sub>Xworks the correct encoding manually. Otherwise, your
data could be corrupted! To override T<sub>E</sub>Xworks’s default
choice of encoding, use the menu that appears when you click on the
editor window’s middle status bar widget. <!--l. 31--></p>
<p class="indent">If you opened a file in T<sub>E</sub>Xworks that
was not saved as utf-8 but is lacking the <span class=
"obeylines-h verb"><span class="ec-lmtt-12">%</span><span class=
"ec-lmtt-12"> !TeX</span><span class=
"ec-lmtt-12"> encoding</span></span> line, it might be
displayed with (some) weird characters<a id="dx31-32007" name=
"dx31-32007"></a>. In that case, you can specify the correct
encoding via the status bar widget menu in the same way, but it is
<em>imperative</em> that you then use <em class="c10">Reload using
selected encoding</em> from the same menu! This forces
T<sub>E</sub>Xworks to open the document again with the encoding
you selected, the weird characters should be replaced by normal
ones, and only then it is safe to continue to work normally. To
avoid having to repeat this procedure each time you open this file,
you should either switch to utf-8 for saving it in the future or
add a proper <span class="obeylines-h verb"><span class=
"ec-lmtt-12">%</span><span class=
"ec-lmtt-12"> !TeX</span><span class=
"ec-lmtt-12"> encoding</span></span> line. <!--l. 33--></p>
<p class="indent">If we want to compile a file with another
programme<a id="dx31-32008" name="dx31-32008"></a> than the default
T<sub>E</sub>X or L<sup>A</sup>T<sub>E</sub>X, we put at the
beginning of the file: <a id="dx31-32009" name=
"dx31-32009"></a></p>

</div><!--l. 43-->
<p class="indent">Pay attention to this last instruction. You have
to use the name of the programme here which should be used for the
whole project, as the first encountered programme when starting
typesetting is used (which is the one from the sub-document you are
in). T<sub>E</sub>Xworks will use that programme, even if another
name appears in the main document! <!--l. 45--></p>
<p class="indent">When opening a document which contains a
<span class="obeylines-h verb"><span class=
"ec-lmtt-12">%</span><span class=
"ec-lmtt-12"> !TeX</span><span class=
"ec-lmtt-12"> program</span></span> line, the specified
programme will become the one to use and its name will appear in
the drop down menu in the toolbar; you can, however, override this
by selecting a different one from the drop down list, if you want.
<!--l. 49--></p>
<p class="indent">In addition, you can set the spell checking
language by a similar comment line: <a id="dx31-32014" name=

<p class="indent">As <span class="ec-lmro-12">indent</span> only
indents the first part of very long (wrapped) lines, this is not
very satisfactory in some cases. But one can ask
T<sub>E</sub>Xworks to split a long line (longer than the width of
the editing window) into short ones adding a hard coded line feed.

<p class="noindent">When a document is becoming long and you want
to move to a specific place (a chapter, a section, a subsection,
…)<a id="dx31-34001" name="dx31-34001"></a> you normally need to
scroll the editing window to find the desired location, or use the
Find dialog if you remember a keyword in the chapter’s title.
<!--l. 88--></p>
<p class="indent">To the same end, though a lot more comfortable,
you can also use the structural information in the document to
navigate the source: the menu item <em class=

"c10">Show</em><span class="lmsy-10x-x-120">→</span><em class=

T<sub>E</sub>Xworks. Clicking on an item in the panel moves the
cursor to the corresponding part in the source. That panel, like
any other, can be resized by dragging its border. <!--l. 90--></p>
<p class="indent">The same action is possible in the PDF window
from <em class="c10">Window</em><span class=

<p class="noindent">By default, the editor/source window opens on
the left and the preview one on the right (when the corresponding

<p class="noindent">Very soon when one uses
(L<sup>A</sup>)T<sub>E</sub>X, one discovers that the working
folder is cluttered by many files which have the name of the source
file but different extensions: <span class="path">.aux</span>,
<span class="path">.log</span>, <span class="path">.toc</span>,
<span class="path">.lof</span>, <span class="path">.lot</span>,
<span class="path">.bbl</span>, … <!--l. 105--></p>
<p class="indent">All these are files needed by
(L<sup>A</sup>)T<sub>E</sub>X to be able to create the table of
contents, lists of figures/tables, the bibliography, the cross
references and, also very importantly, to keep track of what it did
(in the <span class="path">.log</span> file). <!--l. 107--></p>
<p class="indent">Apart from the external files, images, pictures,
…, the only files required are the <span class="path">.tex</span>
files, the sources of the document. One can erase all the others.
Sometimes, this is even necessary when
(L<sup>A</sup>)T<sub>E</sub>X gets stuck after an error.
<!--l. 109--></p>
<p class="indent">This can be done using a T<sub>E</sub>Xworks
command from the <em class="c10">File</em> menu with the
<span class="lmsy-10x-x-120">→</span><em class="c10">Remove Aux
files…</em><a id="dx31-36002" name="dx31-36002"></a> item.
<!--l. 111--></p>
<p class="indent">When you use this command, a dialog box opens in
which you can check/uncheck the files you want to
remove.<span class="footnote-mark"><a href=

actually exist in the folder; if you removed all these auxiliary
files before, you get a message box saying that there is no file to
remove at the moment. <!--l. 113--></p>
<p class="indent">The list of auxiliary files which are taken into
account is defined in the file <span class=
"path">texworks-config.txt</span><a id="dx31-36004" name=
"dx31-36004"></a> in the <span class="path">configuration</span>
folder of the T<sub>E</sub>Xworks resources folder. You could add
some if required.</p>
<h3 class="sectionHead"><span class="titlemark">5.7</span> <a id=
"x31-370005.7" name="x31-370005.7"></a>Changing the

<p class="noindent">We have seen in section <a href=
"Installation.html#x7-40002">2
<!--tex4ht:ref: chap.installation --></a> (on page <a href=
"Installation.html#x7-40002">11
<!--tex4ht:ref: chap.installation --></a>) that the first time you
use T<sub>E</sub>Xworks, it creates a resource folder and also that
it saves default preferences. <!--l. 119--></p>
<p class="indent">It is possible to define a personal place where
one wants the resource folder and the preferences. This can be
handy when one wants a portable system (e.g., on an USB stick) or
when one wants to easily access the templates or completion folders
for modifications. <!--l. 121--></p>
<p class="indent">For this, create a file <span class=
"path">texworks-setup.ini</span><a id="dx31-37001" name=
"dx31-37001"></a> in the programme folder in which you specify the
path to the folder containing the completion, configuration,
dictionaries,…folders and the configuration file (<span class=

name="dx31-37008"></a> for the necessary folders. Here,
<span class="path">TW_conf</span> would replace the resource folder
<span class="path">TeXworks</span>. Note that the referenced folder
(here <span class="path">TW_conf</span>) should exist—it will not
be created—, and that the <span class=
"obeylines-h verb ec-lmtt-12">/</span> is used even on Windows
(instead of the common <span class=

<p class="indent">If one wants to put the resource folder in the
programme folder as a subfolder, one can use an instruction like
<span class=

relative paths are taken to be relative to the T<sub>E</sub>Xworks
programme folder (on Mac OS X, the folder containing the app
