If you have a problem in a certain region of your document, the basic procedure is to mark the region, then use tex-region (via S-F2 to generate a DVI file for viewing (via C-F2) the region (instead of the whole file). When using tex-region, a file named tex-region.tex.tex will be created in the current directory with the contents of the region along with the header information (documentstyle and etc.) and other statements.

To run TEXor LATEXon the whole buffer, use M-F2. At the present time there seems to be a bug here in the new latex compiler. If you have problems, look at the tex-region.tex.tex file. It should begin with the correct documentsyle and the text for the region displayed sandwiched between begin and end document statements.

To see how the whole file will look, use M-F2 to run Tex on the whole buffer. If an error is found, the line number of the error will correspond to the buffer. Use M-F6 to goto the line number where Tex found the error. Correct and repeat.

When you are ready to see a hard copy of your work, use C-PrSc to print the ``current'' DVI file on your default printer. Alternately you can drag and drop the dvi file to your print tool choice or create and print a postscript version as explained in Section  .
