#powerpoint
Another reason to hate #Microsoft. I took data from a colleague's #Powerpoint slide to put into a #LaTeX document. When I processed my file I kept getting errors and I couldn't see anything with #Emacs that was wrong with the file. It turns out that the original file contained a #zero-width #Unicode character which I couldn't see! The solution was to us od -c | less
to spot anything untoward in my #TeX source #TextFile. There it was and it was in many places and I had to find the locations, and replace the characters either side to be sure that the invisible character was deleted. What a waste of time.
