Hello, I am totally new to Latex and Miktex. I downloaded Miktex ok, but I have to add Revtex4.1 in order to submit an article to a journal. There is a 'revtex4' option in the package manager but I have not tried that because I am not sure if it is actually version 4 or 4.1, and if it was 4, would I be able to get it out of there later?. So I downloaded 4.1 and managed to unzip it (which was a struggle) into a folder under Miktex2.9 that I called 'revtex41'. If I run the sample tex file that is several folders down in the revtex41 folder, it works. But if I copy that tex file somewhere else (such as the desktop) and try to run it from there, it complains about not having Revtex 4.1, in the following way: So I tried adding my revtex41 folder to the path. Not that I am sure that doing that would fix the problem, but it was worth a try. I used the instructions that came along in the zip file:[1] In Miktex options go to the 'root' tab and add a path to the new folder, which I did. Then I hit 'apply' as well. [2] Go to the 'general' tab and hit 'refresh FNDB' which I did.But Miktex will not store that change. When I go out of Miktex options and back in, that path is not there. I tried doing the install in the box shown above. That didn't work either.I would like to be able to put a tex file anywhere I want and have it run. Any suggestions for what I am doing wrong?
