Text Formatting ⇒ how to flush left the 'Abstract' ?

[bkarpuz]

Dear All,

I am using the document class article, and I need to align the title abstract to the left-hand side, I used the following code but it did not work.

Code: Select all

\def\abstractname{\flushleft\textbf{Abstract}}

I would be glad if I can learn the correct code.

Thanks.

try

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\abstractname{Abstract\hfill}

Besides, there is no "correct code" to achieve this. The centering of the abstract title is hard-wired in the article class, and so everything that changes this is a hack.

thanks, this works good, and I figured out how to modify it.

This worked for me:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\abstractname{\flushleft\textbf{Abstract}\hfill}
