This is certainly a decision you will not regret. Do not dispair, if there are hurdles until the system is setup! Just to add to the hopefully not to big confusion: There is yet another editor which is really to be considered. - its name is Scite. You can download it from http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEDownload.html Hans Hagen at Pragma has made this editor CONTEXT aware. - And this will be extended ... Advantages: highlighting , running texexec from the menu or by key, possibilities to run a syntax-check, view the compiled file in the PDF-viewer.
