General ⇒ [spacing issue] lower the title - how to do?

[srivathsan]

Hi all,
I am looking to lower the title of my paper (as against being at the very top of the first page). How do I lower the title? I tried using \vspace, \medskip etc. None worked. Could you please let me know how to do this?

Here is what I am trying to do..but, doesn't work....

=========================================
\documentclass{acm_proc_article-sp}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{verbatim} % For multi-line comments


\begin{document}

\vspace{50mm} -- does not work!!
\title{Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks}

\begin{comment}
\numberofauthors{3}

.....
.....

\bigskip -----> does not work
\maketitle
=======================================


Thanks,
sri.

Hi Srivathsan,

welcome to the board!
A simple way would be to include \vspace in \title:

Code: Select all

\title{\vspace{50mm}Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks}

If your document class provides a titlepage environment you could use that instead of \maketitle.

Thanks Stefan!! That simple trick worked.
