1 Check all URLs.  Some really mess things up and need to be properly escaped.

2 Start of inputted files should be \begin{article} \title{blah} \author{him} \maketitle \section{Abstract}..
** The point being, don't immediately put \begin{abstract} after \maketitle for some reason.

3 Biblio and natbib errors can often be fixed by ensuring \usepackage[numbers]{natbib} is defined, in our case it's added to tex_support/OSGeomisc.sty

3.1 If you get biblio date errors, add to preamble of main doc: \bibpunct{(}{)}{,}{a}{,}{,} - but remove it if you need the following
3.2 Related to 3 above, the warning l.353 ...and\NAT@force@numbers{}\NAT@force@numbers can be ignored, but hopefully #3 above fixes this!

4. Getting this unclear error? ! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
   Check that you don't have >1 \address{} section in your document!

5.  Getting errors about the "_" character?  You need to escape weird symbols like \ or _ or & by preceeding with an escape forward slash, like:  \\ or \_  or \&.  You don't need to if the character is inside a url{} section.

6. Hyperlink in page numbers of footer are annoying.  In main doc changes \pageref{LastPage} to \pageref*{LastPage} - solved that!
