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*}
