After looking through the LaTeX book, and trying various things I'm posting to this group for help.. I am using two-column mode with the report format. I would like to have the abstract be in one column, under the title. Then I want the rest of the paper in two-column format (See below). I haven't found anyway to do this. Document Title Eli Charne Date ABSTRACT my abstract goes here in one column format column 1 goes column 2 goes here and here and continues along continues along Someone suggested putting a \twocolumn[my abstract here] rest of paper here in the document. That will format the abstract in one column, but it skips a page before formatting the abstract. Any help appreciated! -Eli -- echarne@ics.uci.edu // \\ ``To understand recursion you echarne@uci.bitnet \\ // \\ // need to understand recursion.'' echarne@nrtc.northrop.com \X/ \X/ --Andrew Koenig, 2nd Usenix C++ conf.
