abstractpage-breaking
I have a document that has the header "Abstract" at the very bottom of the first page, and then the actual text of the abstract is on the second page. The rest of the first page is taken up with author information.
I would like to force my abstract to start on a new page.
I have tried to do this using \vspace and \pagebreak and \newpage etc., but not of them seem to change anything. Is this because my class file overrides everything?
I am using the class file aastex.
My suggestion is to focus on getting the content and structure of your document in place before attending to details such as this. The reason is that the layout of your document will shift constantly while content is still being added. Because of this, the most efficient use of time is to focus on writing and ignore these details until the rough draft is done.
Once the rough draft is ready, then you can clean these bad section breaks up by inserting \goodbreak, \newpage, etc. as part of the editing process.
You were almost there with the \@maketitle redefinition:
\documentclass{sigchi}
\usepackage{capt-of,etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd\@maketitle\null{{\myfigure{}\par}}{}{}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\newcommand\myfigure{%
\centering
\rule{2cm}{2cm}%\includegraphics
\captionof{figure}{Some stuff about the teaser}
\label{fig:teaser}
}
\title{My awesome paper}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}Talking some more.\end{abstract}
\end{document}

It's guesswork without a complete example, but let's see how my psychic powers are working today. Try adding this to your preamble.
