feel free to do so. The FAQ is a community project.

The first set of commands does work, but the second doesn't -- thanks. 
Perhaps you could explain it to me, since I was following the Latex 
Companion and could not figure out what was wrong.


And perhaps the FAQ should be changed: not "However, if you are using 
babel", but "if the standard \renewcommand etc. does not work, then try 
this:"


Also, the FAQ should read "excecutIVE summary".

Thanks again.

You may be using Babel anyway.  I'm set up to write in English (true 
English, i.e., the American version :-)) only, and I just created a new 
document with a few words in it and nothing else.  It loads Babel 
anyway.  Try View->LaTeX on your document and see if Babel insinuated 
itself into the preamble.

Did you actually try:

    \AtBeginDocument{%
    \addto\captionsenglish{%
    \renewcommand{\abstractname}{In nuce}%
    }}

Or

\AtBeginDocument{%
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{In nuce}%
}

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I did read the FAQ. It says:


   /However, if you are using babel (which you do most likely if you
   write in a language other than English), this will not work. In this
   case, you have to add to the preamble: /

   /\AtBeginDocument{%
\addto\captions{%
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{In nuce}%
}}/
 


   /Note that you have to substitute  with the name of
   your language, e.g. for French |\captionsfrench|./

   /
   /

But I am /not /using Babel (to my knowledge, the document is in 
"English") and I got the preamble right. So what's wrong? I appreciate 
your help...

\abstractname failure

2006-07-11 Thread mail.k 
In a simple article, I'd like to redefine the fixed text for the 
abstract environment, so that above the text will appear "Summary" and 
not "Abstract".



In the preamble I inserted:


\renewcommand\abstractname{Summary}


I still get "Abstract". Any tips??
