[Tex/LaTex] Names on title page of Beamer presentation

beamerline-breakingtitles

We have several group members whose names should be on the title slide of a Beamer document. However, when I put something like this:

\author{Person A \and Person B \and Person C \and Person D \and Person E}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
...
\end{document}

Person C's name will be broken across two lines.

How can I prevent this from happening?

Best Answer

Box the person's name using \mbox{Person C} (or \hbox{...}). Here's a little example:

enter image description here

\documentclass{beamer}
\author{Dude Azerbaijan \and Dude Bangkok \and Dude Canada 
\and Dude Denmark \and Dude Ethiopia \and Dude France}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}

If you now use \mbox{Dude Denmark}, the result is:
