Howdy,
Here's one possibility:
More than likely is that you don't have the default encoding for the
file set to Latin 1 in your preferences. Since you also don't have a
line
%%!TEX encoding = IsoLatin
so, if the default encoding in TeXShop->Preferences isn't ISO Latin 1
the file will be saved incorrectly. The \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
line tells LaTeX what encoding to expect but doesn't guarantee that is
how the file was saved.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
