[Tex/LaTex] How to change the span between text columns in IEEETran

ieeetran

A need to change the distance between the 2 columns of my article, in order to fulfill a conference specification. Namely, I have to set it to 14mm (0.55 inches). However, I can't figure it out.

Right now, I am first assigning values to the margin variables, and then calling the IEEETran class:

\newcommand{\CLASSINPUTtoptextmargin}{2cm}
\newcommand{\CLASSINPUTbottomtextmargin}{4.4cm}
\newcommand{\CLASSINPUToutersidemargin}{1.3cm}
\newcommand{\CLASSINPUTinnersidemargin}{1.3cm}
\documentclass[10pt, conference, a4paper, final]{IEEEtran}

The solution is simple. You just have to add \setlength{\columnsep}{14mm} to your preamble. That will solve your issue.

See page 11 of the IEEEtran manual; there is an example at the top of the page.

Now, the double column equations are defined on the page prior to the one in which they are to appear (and in this example supposed that they are to be equation numbers six and seven):

\begin{figure*}[!t]
% ensure that we have normalsize text
\normalsize
% Store the current equation number.
\setcounter{MYtempeqncnt}{\value{equation}}
% Set the equation number to one less than the one
% desired for the first equation here.
% The value here will have to changed if equations
% are added or removed prior to the place these
% equations are referenced in the main text.
\setcounter{equation}{5}
\begin{equation}
\label{eqn_dbl_x}
x = 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21+ 23 + 25
+ 27 + 29 + 31
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\label{eqn_dbl_y}
y = 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 16 + 18 + 20+ 22 + 24
+ 26 + 28 + 30
\end{equation}
% Restore the current equation number.
\setcounter{equation}{\value{MYtempeqncnt}}
% IEEE uses as a separator
\hrulefill
% The spacer can be tweaked to stop underfull vboxes.
\vspace*{4pt}
\end{figure*}

The result of which is shown at the top of this page. This technique allows the definition of the equations to be positioned arbitrarily as needed so that the (floating) equations will appear where desired. The “[!t]” option forces LATEX to do its best to place the equations at the top of the next page. Had it been “[!b]” instead, then the stfloats package would need to be loaded and the \vspace command, followed by the \hrulefill command, would have to occur before the equations in the figure.

[Tex/LaTex] how change the text in \IEEEkeyword

I assume you're using the IEEEtran class. You can add \renewcommand\IEEEkeywordsname{Some words} to change that text to Some words.

enter image description here

\documentclass{IEEEtran}
\renewcommand\IEEEkeywordsname{Some words}
\begin{document}
\begin{IEEEkeywords}
This, that.
\end{IEEEkeywords}
Text.
\end{document}
