Generating Output

To generate a printable output file (i.e. DVI, PostScript, etc.) you need to specify output types and you have to create a project or open an existing project.

 

Then you can select the type of output you wish TeXnicCenter to generated, by choosing it from the combo-box of the 'LaTeX'-toolbar, or by selecting it in 'Output|Select Output Type...'

 

When all this configuration is done, you can choose 'Output|Build Output' to start the generation of your output file. TeXnicCenter starts the necessary compiler and prints the output of the compiler to the output bar at the bottom of the TeXnicCenter-window.

 

When compilation is done, TeXnicCenter displays the number of errors, warnings and bad boxes. You can jump to those results by choosing the 'Next *'/'Previous *'-commands from the 'Output'-menu.

 

If there where no errors, you can choose 'Output|View Output' to start or refresh the viewer, you have specified in the output type configuration, for the current output type.
