I haven't had a chance to check yet, but you are most probably right as I
forgot that the Win2K installation is on a 1-HD computer while the WinXP
one is on 2-HD computer and I had forgotten that the TeX files are located
on its D drive.

Thanks for your help.

"refreshing" when using PDF TeXify

When using PDF TeXify with version 5.0 of Adobe Acrobat reader
I did not have to close down the Acrobat reader when
I re-PDF TeXify'd my latex document - Acrobat reader would
just be "refreshed" with the new .pdf document (similar
to the way the .dvi previewer works)

In version 6.0 or higher of Acrobat reader, I keep getting
an error message that the old .pdf file could not
be written to, and to put in a new file name. So I have
to close Acrobat reader in order to get it to write
to the same .pdf file.

Is there an option in WinEdt to just "refresh" when
using PDF TeXify (the whay the .dvi previewer works)?

I am unclear if this is a WinEdt issue or a Acrobat reader issue.
I tried playing with various option in Acrobat reader, but
nothing helped. I also tried to look under help for
PDF TeXify in the WinEdt help, but could not find anything.

Thanks

RE: "refreshing" when using PDF TeXify

This problem was presented yet on the list. The answer was

===================================================
Adobe changed the caption of Acrobat Reader to Adobe Reader (in version
6)...

If you want WinEdt to tell reader to close pdf file before it is recompiled
you must correct:

  Assign("Acro-Title","Acrobat Reader");

to

  Assign("Acro-Title","Adobe Reader");

in WinEdt's Startup macro (Options -> Configurations -> Startup Macro). Save
the change and restart WinEdt.

Otherwise you'll get locked file error from pdf accessories...

Best regards,

alex 
=====================================================

In my version of WineEdt (5.3) the Startup Macro has a possibility to
recognize the actual version of the Reader. When I performed changes along
Alex suggestion it was

FindInString(`%$('AcroRead')`,'Acrobat.exe',1,2,1000,1); // Which Acrobat:
AcroRd32.exe or Acrobat.exe
  IfNum("%!1","%!2",">",>
    `Assign("Acro-Title","Acrobat Reader");`,>
    `Assign("Acro-Title","Adobe Reader");`);

This  didn't give any results however. So after those lines I've just add

Assign("Acro-Title","Adobe Reader"); // Settled manually!!

and all was OK. since that!

                           Best regards

C programming Highlighting

Hi:

I was hoping to use WinEdt to edit C source code and need to find a nice
way to highlight the code. I looked and could not find the "mode-C" macros
that were posted years ago. Have these been updated for version 5.4 or
is there an easy way to get the equivalent from inside WinEdt 5.4?

I apologize if this is "old news" here, but I exhausted my resources and
need some help over something that should be real easy.

I do I get C-mode highlighting in WinEdt 5.4?

Regards,
Dave Strang

Grammar checker?

Hi,

Are there any plans to have a grammar checker added as
a feature to WinEdt.  If not, are there any plug-ins
currently available that can do so?

Cheers,

              Juan Antonio

Bookmarks in 5.4

Hello,

is there a way to get rid of a rather annoying bookmark (or its ghost)
following the line your cursor is on? No combination of options in the
Bookmarks window makes any difference. Many thanks.

(On a more general note, I regret that the minimalist graphical
interface of 5.3 is no longer the default. For example, the little red
icon which is added to the document tab every time you change the
saved document consumes the much needed horizontal space. Also, the
toolbar icons required some tweaking on my system. The biggest
improvement, as far as I'm concerned, is of course naviagtion in TOC
and .bib files.)

Right click the left margin of text window (grey bar or goto 
Options>Appearance>Bookmarks). Uncheck the checkbox for "Use zero (0) as 
Roaming Bookmark" in the opening dialog. With this setting, bookmark 0 
is usable as "normal" bookmark.

You can change  this by editing WinEdtEx.ini. Goto 
"Options>Advanced>Extended Configuration" which opens WinEdtEx.ini.

In the section [DOCUMENT_TABS] (the first one in the file) you find the 
key BITMAPS_ENABLED. Set it to 0 and restart WinEdt after saving the file.

And many more things

Re: Bookmarks in 5.4

Thanks, Georges. But unchecking "Use zero (0)..." on my system has led
only to a grey square following the cursor (the `ghost', as I called
it earlier). Any idea on how to have just empty space there? And
thanks a lot for the document tab tip.
