<div class="">This is a stupid question regarding placement of files for TeXShop from a confused soul.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I recently transferred my files to a new computer, and am having trouble with locating style files.</div>
<div class="">I have many user-defined macros which I have on Dropbox (in order to use them on several computers)</div>
<div class="">in a folder called “Mymacros” inside a larger folder called “Macros” (containing also some style files for journals I submit to).</div>
<div class="">When I tried to edit a file recently I got a “can’t find file” message, to which I responded with a pathname, but then the \usepackage</div>
<div class="">call on the next line resulted in a “missing \begin{document}” message, to which I didn’t know how to respond (the \begin{document} command comes after the list of \usepackage calls).</div>
<div class="">I attach a truncated version of the source file, and the log file from trying to compile that truncated source file below.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">My question is an either/or: either “how can I fix it so that TeXShop finds the files where I have them” or “where can I put them so that TeXShop will find them”?</div>
<div class="">My knowledge of how the internal organization of files in OSX is casual at best, so assume I am an idiot in that department: at least if the second question is being answered, I need a “for dummies” version.</div>
