[AUCTeX] Re: Missing latex macros

[Brian Elmegaard]

Thanks for the reply.
I believe I have already specified this as required. I have:
TeX-macro-global is a variable defined in `tex.el'.
Its value is
("C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.9/tex/" "C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 
2.9/bibtex/bst")

I was not completely precise in my explanation. Actually, I do get 
completion of latex macros, but only preview.sty which is in the auctex 
directory.

Any hints?

Brian
