[OS X TeX] MacTeX inputs

[Paul Vickers]

Louis

Why are you using \input? It would be more usual to write:

\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{graphicx}

{\color{red} This line is red.}
\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{Logo}

\input tells TeX to include the contents of the file at that point. As 
color and graphicx are both packages I assume you will be getting an 
error to do with trying to have a single file provide more than one 
package ( a package file has a 'provides' command in it). You use 
packages with the \usepackage command.
