Page Layout ⇒ vertical space after author affiliation in IEEEtran

[aarg_2010]

Hi, I am using documentclass as IEEEtran, and there is large white space after the end of author affiliation and the begin of the text. Can any body help me reduce this space?

Thanks

Hi,

you could use something like

Code: Select all

\vspace*{-1cm}

right before the beginning of the text. Of course, change the value of the argument according to your needs.

Thanks!
I tried \vspace*{-1cm} right before abstract and it reduced the space between the left column and the affliation but the space between the right column and the affiliation is the same. Do you have any suggestion?

Please post some short, complete and compilable version of your document, so we can do some tests.

Hi, Here it is. I just filled up the abstract with the words "Left Column", and the Introduction with the word "Introduction" so the problem will be clear.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,twocolumn]{IEEEtran}
