[Tex/LaTex] Noindent in \thanks, left align

footnoteshorizontal alignmentindentation

I am using the following command in WinEdt to have the corresponding author contact info at the footnote. I used \\ to have a new line since it was long.

I have two problems. First I need to left align letter "C" of the "Corresponding author" with the letter "E" of Email in the footnote. Second, I should interchange *,a with a,* in the 2nd line after first Author Name. Thanks and sorry if the first version of my question was not clear.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{authblk}
\title {\bf  Title}
 \author[,a]{Author Name\thanks{Corresponding author. Tel.: +0 (000) 000 0000 ext. 00000; fax: +0 (000) 000 0000.\\ E-mail: email@123.com}}

\author[b]{Author Name}
\affil[a]{Department of , University of , Address, BB, CC}
\affil[b]{Department of , University of , Address, BB, CC}

\date{\today}
\begin {document}
\maketitle
\end{document}

Best Answer

In this instance, it is far easier to insert the appropriate space needed to horizontally align the two lines. The exact space is 1.8em:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{authblk}% http://ctan.org/pkg/authblk
\title{\textbf{Title}}
\author[,a]{Author Name\thanks{Corresponding author. Tel.: +0 (000) 000 0000 ext. 00000; fax: +0 (000) 000 0000.\\
  \hspace*{1.8em}E-mail: email@123.com}}
\author[b]{Author Name}
\affil[a]{Department of , University of , Address, BB, CC}
\affil[b]{Department of , University of , Address, BB, CC}
\date{\today}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}
