<h3>1-column abstract in 2-column document</h3>
<p/>One often requires that the abstract of a paper should appear across
the entire page, even in a two-column paper.  The required trick is:
<pre>
  \documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
  ...
  \begin{document}
  ... % \author, etc
  \twocolumn[
    \begin{@twocolumnfalse}
      \maketitle
      \begin{abstract}
        ...
      \end{abstract}
    \end{@twocolumnfalse}
  ]
</pre>
Unfortunately, with the above <code>\</code><code>thanks</code> won&rsquo;t work in the
<code>\</code><code>author</code> list.  If you need such specially-numbered footnotes, you
can make them like this:
<pre>
  \title{Demonstration}
  \author{Me, You\thanks{}}
  \twocolumn[
    ... as above ...
  ]
  {
    \renewcommand{\thefootnote}%
      {\fnsymbol{footnote}}
    \footnotetext[1]{Thanks for nothing}
  }
</pre>
and so on.
<p/>As an alternative, among other facilities the <i>abstract</i> package 
provides a
<code>\</code><code>saythanks</code> command and a <code>onecolabstract</code> environment
which remove the need to fiddle with the <code>\</code><code>thanks</code> and
footnoting. They can be used like this:
<pre>
\twocolumn[
  \maketitle             % full width title
  \begin{onecolabstract} % full width abstract
  ... text 
  \end{onecolabstract}
]
\saythanks               % typeset any \thanks
</pre>
The <i>memoir</i> class offers all the facilities of <i>abstract</i>.
