AI Thread Summary
To view results in TeXWorks after copying and pasting text, users must save their work as a .tex file. After saving, clicking the green button at the top of the interface generates a PDF, which should open automatically. If results are not visible, it may be due to not properly saving the file or not executing the compile command. Users cannot view results without saving first, and issues may arise if the pasted content is not formatted correctly for LaTeX. Proper execution of these steps is essential for generating the desired output.

Do you mean it didn't create the pdf? If so you need to savew it ( a .tex file will do) and click the green button at the top. This should generate a pdf and automatically open it.
