This is a question that has come up many times but I do not seem to be able to get this to work using any of the suggestions that have been made so I would REALLY appreciate any help.
I am trying to get LaTeX to find my style files in Windows 7. I am using TeXMaker.
I create a new folder, for example C:\localtexmf\tex\latex\Macros This then satisfies the TDS compliant directory requirements.
I go into MikTeX settings -> Roots and add this folder. I then click Refresh FNDB in the General settings.
However, when I try to compile I still receive the error that the cls files cannot be found. It seems that this procedure has worked for many other people but I just cannot find what I could be doing wrong here.
C:\localtexmforC:\localtexmf\tex\latex\Macros? If you used the last one, LaTeX will try to find your .sty file inC:\localtexmf\tex\latex\Macros\tex\latex\…` – Bernard Feb 13 '14 at 19:45
