+## Remarks

 Note the circumstances of the error, then try to isolate the problem and create a reproducible test case. For information on how to investigate and report these errors, see [How to report a problem with the Visual C++ toolset or documentation](../../overview/how-to-report-a-problem-with-the-visual-cpp-toolset.md).
 
 You may get this error if you mix standard header files (for example, Windows.h) and your own files. Include a precompiled header, if any, first, then the standard headers, followed by your own header files.

-The tool couldn't read the file. The file may be corrupt, or have an unexpected file type.
-
 ## Remarks
 
+The tool couldn't read the file. The file may be corrupt, or have an unexpected file type.
+
 LNK1107 can occur if a file passed to the linker or related tools is corrupt. To resolve this issue, rebuild the file.
 
 LNK1107 can also occur if your build process puts an unexpected file type in the list of files passed to the tool. The linker and related tools expect to work on specific file types. For example, the linker can use object files, library files, compiled resources, and manifests to create an executable. It can't create an executable by using source files or DLLs. To resolve this issue, verify that your build process passes only the expected file types to the tool. For example, pass *`.obj`*, *`.lib`*, and *`.res`* files, not *`.cpp`*, *`.h`*, *`.dll`*, or *`.rc`* files.

 > failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt
 
+## Remarks
+
 Input files must have the Common Object File Format (COFF) format. If an input file is not COFF, the linker automatically tries to convert 32-bit OMF objects to COFF, or runs CVTRES.EXE to convert resource files. This message indicates that the linker could not convert the file. This can also occur when using an incompatible version of CVTRES.EXE from another installation of Visual Studio, the Windows Development Kit, or .NET Framework.
