The standard way of inserting two authors is to select the author layout and type: Author1 <ctrl+enter> Address of author1 \and (in latex mode) Author2 <ctrl+enter> Address of author2 This won't center the names in the two column as you want. Inserting the following code to the preamble will do that: \def\and{% \end{tabular}% \hfill% \hspace*{\columnsep} \hfill% \begin{tabular}[t]{c}} \def\@maketitle{% \newpage \null \vskip 2em% \begin{center}% \let \footnote \thanks {\LARGE \@title \par}% \vskip 1.5em% {\large \lineskip .5em% \hfill% \begin{tabular}[t]{c}% \@author \end{tabular}\hfill\null\par}% \vskip 1em% {\large \@date}% \end{center}% \par \vskip 1.5em}
