Centering nomenclature two column

Post by Robin91 »

Hello,

I tried creating a nomenclature in my document with the following code:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\nompreamble{\begin{multicols}{2}}
\renewcommand*\nompostamble{\end{multicols}}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\printnomenclature  %creates nomenclature section produced by MakeIndex
\end{multicols} 
This produces the paper in the attachment. However, I would like to center my nomenclature on the page. I tried \begin{center} and \centering but this didn't have any effect.

Any ideas how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance,
Robin

Centering nomenclature two column

I now have the additional problem that the columns are not the correct width (again see the attachment, the problem is with the 'ASSET' entry)
I am still searching for a solution for both problems.

Thanks in advance,
Robin

Hi Robin,

unfortunately there's no answer until now. If you would post a compilable minimal working example, which allows testing, reproducing and fixing the problem, the chance of getting a solution would be increased.
With just these code lines above the problem is quite theoretical.
