The command forward search uses KDVI and an outside file (outside files are referred to as "packages" in LaTeX) called srcltx.sty. You will have to do a search of your files to check if your distribution has scrltx included. If it is included, then you must set the following command in the preamble.
\documentstyle[14pt,a4paper]{book} \usepackage[active]{scrltx} \pagestyle{empty} \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{2} \begin{document} \begin{verse} The KDE \LaTeX\ source code editor Kile is my favorite. \em{because} it is easy to use! \end{verse} \end{document}
Once you have added the package scrltx, you can leave KDVI open. Forward search will allow a user to click on a specific section of text in the LaTeX code, and jump to the associated position in the DVI viewer window.
