This answer by @AndrewSwann demonstrates use of the \author{} command. I am writing an article with a bunch of authors, and when I use this command, it goes off the page:

How can I fix this? Using the same code with more authors:

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}

\begin{document}
\title{An Important Conference Contribution}

\author{\IEEEauthorblockN{Author One\IEEEauthorrefmark{1},
Author Two\IEEEauthorrefmark{2}, Author Three\IEEEauthorrefmark{1},
Author Four\IEEEauthorrefmark{2}, Author Five\IEEEauthorrefmark{1},
Author Six\IEEEauthorrefmark{2}, Author Seven\IEEEauthorrefmark{1},
Author Eight\IEEEauthorrefmark{2}, Author Nine\IEEEauthorrefmark{3} and
Author Ten\IEEEauthorrefmark{4}}
\IEEEauthorblockA{Department of Whatever,
Whichever University\\
Wherever\\
Email: \IEEEauthorrefmark{1}[email protected],
\IEEEauthorrefmark{2}[email protected],
\IEEEauthorrefmark{3}[email protected],
\IEEEauthorrefmark{4}[email protected]}}
\maketitle

\end{document}

Add \\ at suitable spots: here one suffices after the fifth author.

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}

\begin{document}
\title{An Important Conference Contribution}

\author{\IEEEauthorblockN{Author One\IEEEauthorrefmark{1},
Author Two\IEEEauthorrefmark{2}, Author Three\IEEEauthorrefmark{1},
Author Four\IEEEauthorrefmark{2}, Author Five\IEEEauthorrefmark{1},\\
Author Six\IEEEauthorrefmark{2}, Author Seven\IEEEauthorrefmark{1},
Author Eight\IEEEauthorrefmark{2}, Author Nine\IEEEauthorrefmark{3} and
Author Ten\IEEEauthorrefmark{4}}
\IEEEauthorblockA{Department of Whatever,
Whichever University\\
Wherever\\
Email: \IEEEauthorrefmark{1}[email protected],

Use a \parbox of \linewidth and use % to hide spurious spaces.

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}

\begin{document}
\title{An Important Conference Contribution}

\author{%
  \IEEEauthorblockN{%
    \parbox{\linewidth}{\centering
      Author One\IEEEauthorrefmark{1},

      Author Five\IEEEauthorrefmark{1},
      Author Six\IEEEauthorrefmark{2},
      Author Seven\IEEEauthorrefmark{1},
      Author Eight\IEEEauthorrefmark{2},
