Text Formatting ⇒ Widetext borders

[archeryguru2000]

Hello all,
I have been in need of a method for inserting a large equation into a 2-column paper. I've found the {widetext} package. And with a little modification, I've been able to use it to suit my needs. However, I cannot seem to remove those pesky borders above and below my 'wide' equation.

Wide equation with borders.

It seems relevant to include those for equations in the middle of a page. But when the equation is at the top/bottom of a page, they are not quite necessary. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to remove them; such as

Code: Select all

\renewcommand\wtborder{False}

Thanks,
