I had been already using LaTeX. Now I want to send my article to a Springer journal. Therefore I am using the svjour3 template, but it gives me an error. It is like this:

How can I solve this?

    Welcome to TeX.SX! Apparently, your MikTeX distribution does not have svjour3.cls installed, which is quite natural, since it's available from the Springer website only.

  • These classes are not, I think, part of standard TeX distributions. You need to install the package manually. Wherever you got the instructions to use this class should tell you where to get it. You can put it in the same directory as your .tex file and it will be found.

Follow these steps:

  1. Download the Springer class;

  2. Follow the instructions listed in Where do I place my own .sty or .cls files, to make them available to all my .tex files?

    If you want to avoid hassles, you can just place svjour3.cls in your working folder.

  • @Amber: After you place the files in the respective folders, then you need to run texhash from the command line. Alternatively, if all else fails, just place the .cls in your working folder and things should compile without problem.
