Abstract format with TexMaker

Post by MagneticFreak »

Hi all,

I am currently working on a paper, but I need 2 columns for the text body, while only 1 large column for my abstract under the title, introducing some keywords under it as well. I usually simply used the following:
\begin{abstract}
...
\end{abstract}
but the result is placed within the first of my two columns. I need to place the abstract above both columns and centered in the middle.

Many Thanks for your help.

The multicol package could be useful.
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...

Multicols is great but does not allow figures as far as I remember
