I'd just checked a great deal of related questions, corresponding to similar problems, such as here, here, here, here and so on; But all of them lead to below error:

Undefined Control Sequence \IEEEoverridecommandlockouts\IEEEpubid...

Here is the kernel of my template file' code: 

\documentclass[letterpaper, 10 pt, conference]{ieeeconf}

\IEEEoverridecommandlockouts                              

\overrideIEEEmargins                                      

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{amsmath} 
\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
\usepackage[flushleft]{threeparttable}
%\usepackage{fancyhdr}

Would you please guide me to insert the copyright notice, deservedly?

  • The class is actually called IEEEconf.cls, MikTeX won't complain, but Linux/Unix/Mac user have to edit this :-( –  May 28 '16 at 14:07
  • @ChristianHupfer: I'm just compiling the file with MikTeX 2.9 on windows 10. So. –  May 28 '16 at 14:16
  • Have you tried following the instructions in the other answers and using \IEEEoverridecommandlockouts after \begin{document}? – cfr May 28 '16 at 16:29

\IEEEoverridecommandlockouts is provided by IEEEtran.cls and not IEEEconf.cls. \overrideIEEEmargins is not supported in version 1.7+.

\bf ought not be used in LaTeX which deprecated it 20+ years ago. Be careful not to introduce spurious spaces in, for example, titles etc.

For example,

\documentclass[letterpaper,10pt,conference]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
\usepackage[flushleft]{threeparttable}

\title{\LARGE \bfseries My Paper's Title}% \bf was deprecated 20+ years ago and ought not be used in LaTeX

\author{Me$^{1}$ and Someone Else$^{2}$% <-this % stops a space
\thanks{$^{1}$My Affiliation
        {\tt\small my email address}}%
\thanks{$^{2}$Her Affiliation
        {\tt\small her email address}}%
}

\makeatletter
    \setlength\@fptop{0\p@}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\IEEEoverridecommandlockouts

% \overrideIEEEmargins is no longer supported

  • Thanks in advance... Actually, the usage of bf was due to its native embodiment within the template, but thanks for the advice about its deprecation. Could we conclude that ieeetran will cover ieeeconf in an extensive manner, leading to deprecation of the latter, gradually?! –  May 28 '16 at 17:14
  • @Roboticist I have no idea. Better ask IEEE? – cfr May 28 '16 at 18:16
  • Sure... I guessed any guess would be stemmed from your long-time experience within working with such packages... Your kindness for the contribution. –  May 28 '16 at 18:22
  • I'm afraid I've never used an IEEE class myself, so I have absolutely no experience to draw on ;). – cfr May 28 '16 at 20:09
