    Potential Problems

    Authors that leave directory paths to figure files in their main.tex file

    Authors that ignored errors on their system when compiling the

    code

    Authors that try to use unsupported figure file types (.tiff)

    Authors that do not include the figure file extension in the figurefile name

    It can be helpful to have someone knowledgeable withLATEX to quickly resolve these issues for confused authors
