The first occurrent of a \subsection is in the third chapter and when I isolate and compile the chapter by itself, I still receive the error message. Thus, there is obviously something going on at first recognition of a \subsection command. I looked in the chapter for a \\ or a \newline (which I never use), which is recommended for debugging this error, and did not find either. I must say, that I have modified the *style* parameter in @subsection of book.cls with a \centering command, removed it, and this did not prevent the error message from occurring. Previously, I could make a full compile of the book without this message >occurring. Is there something that I could have done to cause this error message? How can I prevent it from occurring. Please help.

The READ.ME file that accompanies this release appears below. We call your attention to the second full paragraph of the READ.ME file which discusses the AMS copyright associated with this release. We hope that this explanation will set aside any possible confusion regarding the intent of the AMS copyright with respect to these fonts. Ralph Youngen Director, Electronic Product Development American Mathematical Society -------------------- Computer Modern PostScript Fonts (Adobe Type 1 format) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The PostScript Type 1 implementation of the Computer Modern fonts produced by and previously distributed by Blue Sky Research and Y&Y, Inc. are now freely available for general use. This has been accomplished through the cooperation of a consortium of scientific publishers with Blue Sky Research and Y&Y. Members of this consortium include: Elsevier Science IBM Corporation Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Springer-Verlag American Mathematical Society (AMS) In order to assure the authenticity of these fonts, copyright will be held by the American Mathematical Society. This is not meant to restrict in any way the legitimate use of the fonts, such as (but not limited to) electronic distribution of documents containing these fonts, inclusion of these fonts into other public domain or commercial font collections or computer applications, use of the outline data to create derivative fonts and/or faces, etc. However, the AMS does require that the AMS copyright notice be removed from any derivative versions of the fonts which have been altered in any way. In addition, to ensure the fidelity of TeX documents using Computer Modern fonts, Professor Donald Knuth, creator of the Computer Modern faces, has requested that any alterations which yield different font metrics be given a different name. The AMS does not provide technical support or installation assistance beyond any installation instructions included in this file. Installation and use of these fonts may require some technical expertise. Review this READ.ME file in its entirety before undertaking an installation. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- History The PostScript versions of the Computer Modern fonts were produced in 1988 by Blue Sky Research of Portland, Oregon, and Y&Y, Inc., of Concord, Massachusetts, who published the fonts in conjunction with their commercial implementations of the TeX program. Character outlines were derived from high-resolution METAFONT-generated character bitmaps by the ScanLab application from Projective Solutions (Ian Morrison and Henry Pinkham), applied and corrected by Douglas Henderson of Blue Sky Research. Character hints were created by software from Y&Y (Berthold and Blenda Horn), with extensive hand work by Blenda Horn. Font engineering, production, and packaging were by Douglas Henderson and Berthold Horn. The CMMI* fonts were revised in 1996 to conform to Knuth's changes to the greek delta and arrow characters. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Font Distributions The canonical version of the Computer Modern PostScript Fonts is located on the AMS FTP server, e-math.ams.org, at /pub/tex/cmfonts/ps. This area is also mirrored on the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) at fonts/cm/ps-type1/bluesky. The following three files are in this directory for you to download: cmps-macintosh.hqx for use on a Macintosh, contains fonts in standard Macintosh Type 1 format cmps-pc.zip for use on a Windows or DOS system, contains fonts in PFB format with PFM metrics files cmps-unix.tar.gz for use on a Unix system, contains fonts in PFB format with AFM metrics files Each distribution includes a READ.ME file which contains instructions for installing the fonts. Please review the READ.ME file in its entirety before undertaking to install the fonts on your system. ------------------------------ About TeXhax...
