[OS X TeX] "can't use..." Please ignore

[Nitecki, Zbigniew H.]

I resolved the problem by replacing \abstract{….} with \begin{abstract}….\end{abstract}.

I’m not sure about all the encoding stuff—as I said, the same format had worked before.

Thanks for the attention to my question.

Howdy,

Please let me know how you `fixed' the problem. It is clear the document is not in UTF-8 Unicode encoding and I believe it's in MacOSRoman. Assuming that's true you need to add the line

% !TEX encoding = MacOSRoman

to the top of the file and

\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}

in your preamble.

I was not able to typeset your document because I don't have packages your use.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
