In a letter-class document that had no previous errors I am suddenly getting the error message:
"There's no line here to end" \opening{text}
I've used this file many times and today it starts giving this error. How do I troubleshoot this?

Check for
\newline
or\\
commands and what comes before. For instance don't write\\\\
to get one further empty line. Possible reasons and solutions are given here in the UK TeX FAQ: No line here to end.To complement this: sometimes you really wish to break a line but LaTeX doesn't allow it because you are in vertical mode. In such cases
\leavevmode
directly before\newline
or\\
helps. Some people use a quick fix and insert some empty space like in~\\
to repair that.
