Steve,

  I looked but need to resolve the preamble issue first. Now I know how to
do this I'll pay more attention to the warnings.


Most of these seem rather innocuous to me, such as the one saying I had
punctuation just before a quote (that's the correct way to do it in
American English), and the one saying I terminated a command with a space.
I can suppress any warning number with -n: Did you suppress some warnings?


  I've not yet arrived at that point; I'm just starting to learn what chktex
shows.


Anyway, how strictly are you taking all these warnings?


  If they follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition I'll use them.
Almost all I write are distributed as newsletters, white papers, and reports
to clients. If this book is accepted by a publisher I'll follow their style
guide and use the .cls file they provide.

Regards,

Rich

You could clean the user-preamble.

Rich, now that you've resolved it, let me ask this: Do you fix every
warning thrown by chktex? I ran it on one of my books, I got 108
warnings, with warning codes 1, 11, 12, 13, 23, 26, 38 and 39.

Most of these seem rather innocuous to me, such as the one saying I had
punctuation just before a quote (that's the correct way to do it in
American English), and the one saying I terminated a command with a
space. I can suppress any warning number with -n: Did you suppress some
warnings?

Anyway, how strictly are you taking all these warnings?

Kornel,

  I no longer have a file that shows the behavior, believe that I know what
happened. Now I need to figure out how to prevent this behavior in the
future.

  Delving into the problem I discovered that I have managed to set the
default document to scrletter2 and that's the preamble that remains even
when I change the document class.

  I'll spend time today figuring out how to fix this. All suggestions are
welcome.

Regards,

Rich

Nonetheless it would be helpful for us too, to have an MWE showing this 
behaviour.

Scott,

  Yes, I checked the modules.

  I resolved the issue by creating a new document using svmono.layout and
inserting the original file. Now the Tools menu shows Check TeX.

  Why this tool did not appear in a new document using the KOMA-Script book
class is a mystery, but is now moot.

  My thanks to you and Paul for spending time on this issue.

Happy holidays,

Rich
