Example 61. Activate extended cursor tracking
Extended cursor tracking, with a change to the correct page, is useful in many circumstances, such as after a search. The example below shows how to specify extended tracking:

[no parameter]

Used without parameters, ttrack performs a one-off track of the current cursor position and changes what is shown in the work area to reflect the current cursor position. If the text cursor is on a page other than the one shown in the document window, PTC ALD will move to that page. The current tracking mode is not affected.

Additional Information
|
|
You should be aware that ttrack (or any of the modes which enable page tracking) will not have any effect, or may even be unreliable, if the text within which the cursor is positioned is not displayed on any page; or if the page has not recently been formatted. In these cases ttrack may take you to the nearest page for which it has information.
