Windows 8/10 Security (Figures are the Windpws 8 examples)

Error in Norton SONAR

TeX Errors

TeX sometimes requires a keyboard input when errors occur but Visual Windows for TeX does not support the keyboard input during TeX. To get around this, the TeX option to
  • resume TeX by ignoring errors (-interaction=nonstopmode)

is employed.

About
Visual Windows for TeX provides an integrated TeX environment using W32TeX. Our installer VtexInst.exe can download and install TeX files.  If you use other TeX such as MiKTeX (an up-to-date TeX implementation for the Windows operating system) should prepare it by yourself:

TeX files are managed by

  • a project,
which should be created before TeX files can be edited. There are options to automatically create a project
  • with/without a TeX file;
  • by duplicating a project from current project.

TeX file(s) can also be included in a project by

  • creating a new TeX file
    • with a sample TeX code described;
  • dropping an existing TeX file outside of Visual Windows for TeX;
  • reading an existing TeX file;

and you can

  • edit a TeX file
  • view the DVI/PDF/PS file created from your TeX file.

Our menus and tool-icons are disabled at real time if the corresponding operations are not allowed to use (as in the case, where the TeX operation is disabled because it has already run).

Other features are:
  • for Dviout/SumatraPDF,
    • jump from Dviout/SumatraPDF to the appropriate line in the source editor
    • jump from the source editor to the appropriate line in Dviout/SumatraPDF
  • to choose Greek letters, equation marks, and special symbols from the list,
  • to insert TeX commands from the corresponding menus,
  • to customize key strokes,
  • to list all files described in TeX files,
  • to jump to the line indicated by error/warning messages,
  • to jump to keywords,
    • to detect keywords such as \chapter, \section and \label and to jump to the line
    • to detect the relations of \bibitem-\cite and \label-\ref
  • to check the consistency of paired parentheses,
  • to use colored key words, ruler, line number,
  • to complete keywords by adding missing characters (intellisence),
  • to recover the automated backup files when Visual Windows for TeX is not regularly terminated,
  • to check the newer version via the Internet,
Install W32TeX
The installer for Visual Windows for TeX downloads TeX files of W32TeX and installs these files in your local computer. The TeX environment is created after W32TeX is installed. You may skip this installing if you already have a TeX system.
Network Access
When W32TeX is to be downloaded,
  • please allow the Windows firewall to access the W32TeX site.
Download

Please download Visual Windows for TeX for your use.
