Latex & Elsevier - a few pitfalls

Submitting latex code to Elsevier online? Here are two issues I ran into: The pdf the website generates is letter-sized. Nothing in the documentation, or even in the documentclass elsart.cls itself, makes that clear. Long tables or figures might be cut off by the change from A4 to letter.
