|\documentstyle[12pt]{report}
|\begin{document}

|\begin{enumerate}
|You have {\em three} ways of doing equations.

|\item 

Look no further! Change the above to:

\documentstyle[12pt]{report}
\begin{document}

You have {\em three} ways of doing equations.
\begin{enumerate}

\item 

Note that text appearing after the \begin{enumerate} but before the
first \item is illegal.

Keep at it!
