  1. Hi:

    How to write a long equation at the bottom of the double column paper?

  2. Hi, Ali,

    The best way is to split the equation into two or three lines.

  3. Hoi,

    thank you very much for your post. I've been looking for that info for a long time.

    Now I have a question: I want my double-column report to have a single-column section (actually a title page and a final page with burocratic information, both of them have a fixed format). Is there any way out?

    Thanks in advance!

    Best,
    p.

  4. Hi, Pablo,

    Use package "multicol" at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/multicol.html or "cuted" at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/cuted.html. Refer to their documents for details.
