Text Formatting ⇒ Problem with abstract using IEEEtran conference document class

[Alfa04]

Hi,

I am using the document class conference IEEEtran. I have been trying to center the abstract, since it shows up on the left column. The instructions in the "IEEEtran_HOWTO" say to use the command \IEEEtitleabstractindextext to avoid this problem, but it doesnt work. I presume I am the one doing something wrong, since I am new to Latex.

This is what I have written on the code:

Code: Select all

\IEEEtitleabstractindextext


\maketitle

\IEEEtitleabstractindextext{
\begin{abstract}
blah blah 
\end{abstract}
}

\IEEEdisplaynontitleabstractindextext

When I write, the abstract is still on the left side.

Thank you for your help.

Hi alfa,

can you make your code compilable please? That way we can help you much much faster, because you present a very very specific problem. It is also much easier given the huge amount of diferent document classes and packages. A short description of what is needed can be found in How to create a minimal working example.
