More than one \altaffiliation with revtex4/achemso package

Post by ally »

Hello everybody,
I am trying to write a paper with the achemso-package with authors giving their old and new addresses. I use \altaffiliation for that. However, in the resulting document the mark for the new address of the last author doesn't match the one shown in the footnote???? This is a code example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[journal=jprobs,manuscript=article]{achemso}
\author{Author1}
\email{aut@hor.de}
\altaffiliation{Current address: Institut1 woanders}
\author{author 2}
\altaffiliation{Current address: Institut2 woanders}
\affiliation[Institut1]{Institut1, Stadt, Land}

 \title{My title}
\begin{document}
\end{document}
With only one alternative affiliation it worked, but with a second one I observed this strange behaviour. Is it possible to use \altaffiliation twice?
Any idea? Thanks for your help,
Alex

I'm sorry to be of no help, but I don't see what's wrong with the output. The way you've written it, both authors are affiliated with "Institut1" (dagger), author 1 is also affiliated with "Institut1 woanders" (double dagger) and author 2 is also affiliated with "Institut2 woanders" (paragraph mark). This is what I see in the output when I run your example.

If you'd give me a more explicit description of who you want affiliated with which place, I can be of more help. Good luck!

There was a bug in achemso v3.0 with affiliations. It is fixed in the latest version (v3.1a).
