I have an issue with the svjour3 document class where all of the contents in my article are positioned to the left of the page instead of center when I use a onecolumn format. The result is that there a bunch of empty space on the right side of the document. The examples from the Springer LaTeX bundle show clearly that the contents of a onecolumn article should be positioned at the center of the page.

I have tried compiling the default template which comes with the bundle without modifying anything, but the result is exactly the same. At this point I am not sure what might be causing this issue.

I am using MacTex version 2.0 and the template itself can be found here: Springer LaTeX Template

Here is the code I am using:

\begin{filecontents*}{example.eps}

gsave
newpath
  20 20 moveto
  20 220 lineto
  220 220 lineto
  220 20 lineto
closepath
2 setlinewidth
gsave
  .4 setgray fill
grestore
stroke
grestore
\end{filecontents*}

\RequirePackage{fix-cm}

\documentclass[smallextended]{svjour3}
\smartqed
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\title{Insert your title here

\subtitle{Do you have a subtitle?\\ If so, write it here}

\author{First Author         \and
        Second Author %etc.

           \and

              second address
}

Please compose a fully compilable MWE that illustrates the problem including the \documentclass and the appropriate packages so that those trying to help don't have to recreate it. – Peter Grill May 22 '12 at 7:26

If you have to submit a paper, just follow the instructions and don't worry. – egreg May 22 '12 at 10:13
There does not seem to be anything actually wrong here: the output is just how the class is. As such, this looks perhaps 'too localized'. – Joseph Wright Aug 11 '12 at 13:29
