Hello
Another possibility is that you are trying to use some of the
following commands inside a mathematical formula, without using
\mbox. From Latex - A Doc. prep. system (Lamport, L.,) pg. 38-39:
--- ... "The command in Table 3.2 can appear only in paragraphy
and LR modes; use an \mbox command to put one inside a mathematical
formula.
\oe \aa \l ?'
\OE \AA \L !'
\ae \o \ss
\AE \O
Table 3.2
