Page Layout ⇒ Footnotes wider than main text

[anson]

Hello everybody,

I have been playing with this oddity for awhile, and cannot make heads or tails of it.
My footnotes are too wide. I want the footnote margins to match my main text, but they extend too far in both directions. I cannot isolate the package that is causing it. Here is my messy preamble, thanks for looking.

Thank you all for your help.

Hi,

the code you posted is not compilable and even after suitable completion does not allow to reproduce the strange behaviour mentioned. Please post a minimal working example (MWE) (following the link I provided you'll find instructions to build such a MWE and it's possible that you can spot the problem in the process).

Very sorry about that. I am new to the site. I think it has something to do with the title page, but I am not sure what. The footnotes look fine without a title page.

I hope that is slimmed down enough. I am really not sure where the formatting is coming from so I kept my entire preamble.

How obvious (and a bit/really embarrassing). So it thinks my entire paper is the abstract, how silly. Thank you very much.
