Hi,

+1 for not supporting Elsevier.

Nonetheless, if you *have* to use this template, or if you encounter
similar issues with another one, I've used the following workaround in
the past:
- export just the body of the article (hitting C-b at the export frame)
- input that at your tex file using \input{}

Cheers,
Georgios
