PDF output control (text reflow)

Mea culpa if there's a better place for this hard to classify query...

Thanks to input here (and elsewhere) the book was eventually PDF'd (with a MiKTeX distro) and subsequently printed out beautifully. However, having just looked at the PDF on my Galaxy S using the bundled ThinkFree PDF Viewer ...

Re: Under/over full boxes... finding

My problem was that clicking on the message does not take me to the offending line if the file is not already open; once I'd realised that all I had to do was make sure all files were open and then proceed... all significant underfull/overfull boxes have now been dealt with.

Under/over full boxes... finding

This has nothing to do with TexnicCenter. TxC just gives you the message that latex returns. Just look at the output and try to see if it can be improved.

I believe that aiding the user in going to the offending source code has everything to do with TXC and it works as I described (there is also ...

Re: Under/over full boxes... finding

Thx for the input, but the underfull boxes are just underfull... no \\ messing things up (the paragraphs just need a little tweaking in word order, or rewording, to fix it)

And I've just worked out why TXC wasn't highlighting the source where the underfulness was occuring: the file has to be ...

Under/over full boxes... finding

I'm using TXC 1.0RC1; the project is split across 45 files all "included" from one master document

Now the layout has been done I want to deal with the several hundred overfull/underfull boxes, but...

1. Clicking/double clicking on the "info" icon by each message doesn't do anything (similar ...

Re: Graphic splitting paragraph [?Memoir issue?]

Thorsten, may I respectfully ask you to reconsider your personal position and the implicit recommendation to others?

My purpose in cross-posting has been to reach a greater number of people in order to elicit a wider variety of opinions/approaches, and to expedite resolution of what is for me a ...

Re: Graphic splitting paragraph [?Memoir issue?]

Thanks - I was told the same thing over on comp.text.tex.

I took out the float and now it behaves as expected; I could see it was due to the !ht but having been advised to use a float didn't know what to do... until I was told not to use a float!

Graphic splitting paragraph [?Memoir issue?]

In the attached example the graphic has jumped from the bottom of p2 to the top of p3 where it now sits between lines 1 & 2 of the paragraph it is supposed to precede.

I would be quite happy for the graphic to be on p3 provided the successor paragraph is beneath it... and correctly spaced (change ...

Re: Horizontal position control Grrr!

As noted in another post, with thanks to Enrico Gregorio and Lars Madsen in comp.text.tex the following info is critical

1/ \phantom (or similar) TeX commands, at the beginning of a line must be preceded by \leavevmode (LEAVE-VMODE; a LaTeX command) or whatever the TeX equivalent is.
2/ \flushleft ...

Re: Centering & Margins - left/rightskip conflict?

Thanks to Lars Madsen in comp.text.tex: a better to way to adjust margins temporarily is to use the adjustwidth environment in Memoir as in

\begin{adjustwidth{tempLeftMarginIncreaseLength}{tempRightMarginIncrease}

or the * version if the alteration is asymmetric owing to e.g. mirrored margins on ...
