Question: How do I put the author picture in the picture frame box of a journal paper? I tried using this code but the picture wasn't placed in the box, it is outside the box. Here is the code:

```
\begin{biography}{{\includegraphics[width=25mm,height=32mm,clip,keepaspectratio]{a.eps}}}
Name ... was born in ... more text.
\end{biography} 

```

Answer: 
The question has also been posted on LaTeX-Community.org: [IEEE.cls Template & Author Photo](http://latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10026&#p62916). 

As I wrote there: the `biography` environment works without `\includegraphics`, and with square brackets, since the picture argument is optional:

```
\begin{biography}[a.eps]{name}
  was born in  ... on ...
\end{biography}

```
This worked for me (May 2016):

```
\begin{biography}[
{
\includegraphics[width=1in,height=1.25in,clip,keepaspectratio]{my-face.jpg}
}
]
{John Smith}
received a B.S. and M.S. in blah blah blah...
\end{biography}

```

I'm using the file `ieeeconf.cls` which begins

```
%% IEEEtran.cls 2002/11/18 version V1.6b
%% ...

```

I think you can download it [here](https://www.ualberta.ca/~robio12/ieeeconf.cls).
