[Tex/LaTex] Single column elsarticle

columnselsarticletwo-column

I cannot seem to figure out how to make a single column elsarticle. I would like to enforce my whole document to just use one column instead of two.

What am I missing?

\documentclass[5p,10pt,times]{elsarticle}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum
\end{document}

context:
I am writing a response letter. I would like to show some of the text changes I made in the revision in the native formatting, but I am adjusting the basic format to be better suited to the Q&A of the response letter.

Either remove the 5p option, or use the 1p option instead. The default options loaded are a4paper, 10pt, oneside, onecolumn and preprint. You shouldn't worry about loading any of them, and the most important thing is to check the instructions of your specific journal. Refere to this document for more details on possible options.
