<pre wrap="">I am new to LaTeX and need help getting a file to print. Working with an
ancestry program, I have prepared family tree, however, the program only
outputs the file in .tex format. I have downloaded TeX Live from the
internet and am able to open my file in its TeXworks. From there it is not
at all clear to me how I get a print out. I would greatly appreciate simple
step by step directions.

With the file open in TeXworks, press Ctrl+T. At the bottom of your
source file a diagnostic window will appear. If it then disappears,
your TeX file has compiled successfully and you should see the
rendered result in the right-hand integrated PDF viewer. If it
fails to compile, the diagnostic window will remain open and you
will need to attend to the problem(s) reported. Once all errors (if
any) are corrected, you can initiate printing from the PDF preview
window (File / Print PDF) — this will require a standalone PDF
reader such as Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.<br>
