When I open a TeX document by double-clicking on it, the LaTeX editor TeXstudio usually opens the document. I prefer using TeXworks, and I can open TeX documents using TeXworks by right-clicking and selecting "Open with". But I would prefer it if TeXworks were the "default" option for opening LaTeX documents.
Is there any way to make TeXworks the "default" program for opening TeX documents, so that TeX documents will open by default with TeXworks instead of TeXstudio?
Did you select pdfLaTeX next to the compilation button? The default in the TeXworks version in Ubuntu 10.04 is pdfTeX, which won't compile LaTeX documents.
Here is a step by step description.
Make sure the amstex package is installed in MiKTeX
Open TeXworks and choose the "Preferences" menu
Go to the "Typesetting" tab and this window will appear; click on the "+" button in the lower half
Fill the window as follows
In order to add the lines in the "Arguments" field, click on the "+" button.
Click OK in this window and in the Preferences window.

Enjoy AMS-TeX in flamboyant PDF format.
