Page Layout ⇒ Author Text exceeding Margin and Page

[mklb1]

Hello,

I'm having a problem with writing my paper. I have multiple authors, and only one single affiliation. The thing is, that when I write the names of all the authors, and the name of the institution, the text runs to the right end of the page exceeding the margin and the page, and is not centered.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}

\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{setspace}
\linespread{1.3}

\title{\textbf{Title Title Title Title Title Title Title Title Title Title Title Title Title Title Title Title}}

\author{Author 1, Author 2, Author 3, Author 4, Author 5, Author 6, Author 7, Author 8, Author 9, and Author 10 \\ \\
Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution}

\date{\today}

\begin{document}
  \maketitle
\end{document}

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Usually authors are separated by the \and command to ensure an appropriate formatting for the document title by the \maketitle command. This will take care that all authors fit on the page. The additional affiliation has to be formatted by hand (see below code).

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{setspace}
\setstretch{1.3}

\title{\textbf{The Document Title that is so long that it occupies two Lines}}

\author{
  Author 1,\and
  Author 2,\and
  Author 3,\and
  Author 4,\and
  Author 5,\and
  Author 6,\and
  Author 7,\and
  Author 8,\and
  Author 9,\and
  and Author 10 \\[1ex]
  Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution \\
  Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution Institution
}
\date{\today}

\begin{document}
  \maketitle
\end{document}

But the resulting output might not be what you want. So the authblk package can help here with formatting the list of authors as well as adding an affiliation (see code below).

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{authblk}

\title{\textbf{A long list of Authors with on single Affiliations and a Document Title that needs two Lines}}
\author{Author A}
\author{Author B}
\author{Author C}
\author{Author D}
\author{Author E}
\author{Author F}
\author{Author G}
\author{Author H}
\author{Author I}
\author{Author J}
\affil{A very long affiliation that might occupy two Lines if the chossen type area requires this to make it appear well.}

\renewcommand\Authands{ and }

\begin{document}
  \maketitle
\end{document}

By the way, with epsfig your code example uses an obsolete package. Furthermore it sets the line spacing not correctly. You may take a look at l2tabu for more information.
