There are three bogus bytes at the very beginning of the file:
l.1 ï
»¿\documentclass{article}
You're in trouble here. Try typing <return> to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X <return> to quit.
Missing character: There is no ï in font nullfont!
Missing character: There is no » in font nullfont!
Missing character: There is no ¿ in font nullfont!
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
