[me_here_me]

Hi,
I used the following latex code to include a paper title, author names and addresses and a note at the end of the first page

Code: Select all

\title{The title of my page}

\author{first author$^{1}$\thanks{\mbox{Corresponding author. Tel:~+123456789; fax:~+987654321.}
                                                \mbox{\emph{E-mail~address}:~firstA@abc.com(F. Author).}}   , 
second author$^{2}$ and third author$^{1}$\\
\footnotesize
$^{1}$\textit{Address of the first and the third author}\\
\footnotesize
$^{2}$\textit{Address of the second author}}

\maketitle

The paper title, names of the authors and the addresses appear fine. Problem occurs with the note at the end of the paper. It appears like:

Code: Select all

        *Corresponding author. Tel: +123456789. fax: +987654321. 
Email address: firstA@abc.com(F. Author).

The first line of the note turns out to be longer than the width of the column
I tried to separate the fax and the email in different lines (as below) by putting tel and fax in different \mbox and using "\\" in-between but it rather generates a number of errors.

Code: Select all

        *Corresponding author. Tel: +123456789.
fax: +987654321. 
Email address: firstA@abc.com(F. Author).

Also I want each line to be aligned. My ideal result would be something like:

Code: Select all

        *Corresponding author. Tel: +123456789. 
         fax: +987654321. 
         Email address: firstA@abc.com(F. Author).

Can some one guide me here?
Thanks in advance

I can't really figure out what you are doing. A minimal working example (MWE) would clarify your situation. Perhaps the footmisc package can be helpful in this issue.


Best regards

Try this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[hang]{footmisc}
\setlength{\footnotemargin}{0pt}
\begin{document}
\title{The title of my page}

\author{first author\footnotemark[1]\\
second author \footnotemark[2]}
\footnotetext[1]{
First author. Tel:+123456789\newline
\hspace{25pt}fax:+987654321\newline
\emph{E-mail address}:firstA@abc.com(F. Author).
}
\footnotetext[2]{Second author. Tel:+123456789\\
fax:+987654321.\\
\emph{E-mail address}:firstA@abc.com(S. Author).}

\maketitle
\end{document} 

Is that what you are looking for? The hang option causes the hanging indent. Just play with the \footnotemargin to get the spacing you desire. Also in footnotes use \newline not \\ to break. It works here but not with \footnote{}. You will also need to watch the counter when you use footnotes in the paper elsewhere

Thanks for the help

I will try your solution and hope that it works kool.
