I started using LaTeX yesterday and there's something I can't figure out: I've noticed that I don't have some commands, for example right now I'm trying to use \vphantom and \phantom, but when I type these commands they are not recognized. I've been googling but haven't found anything useful; am I missing a package or something? I've been using TexMaker and this is the only problem I've encountered so far. Any suggestions on what is going on will be greatly appreciated, Cheers!

    \vphantom and \phantom do not depend on any packages, so they should work on any LaTeX system. Can you please add to your question a complete and minimal document illustrating your problem? – Gonzalo Medina Aug 12 '12 at 21:59
  • For some reason I tried again after restarting my computer and now it recognizes the command :O, thanks for the info anyways! really appreciate it! – waclock Aug 13 '12 at 02:18

The following code compiles without any packages:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\fbox{g\vphantom{f}}\fbox{f\vphantom{g}}
\end{document}

This yields:

As @GonzaloMedina says, both commands are independent of any packages.
