Hello there, I found your ametsoc.sty and related files and it's very
useful...! wanted to ask two questions:
first, when I use
\section{introduction}
\label{sec:introduction}
blah blah in section \ref{sec:introduction} blah blah,
the text after the \ref command comes out in bold for the rest of the
paper... any clue...?
second, is there a way to get the abstract to be ntered and over two
columns, similar to the way it is in the AMS journals?
thanks... Eli

The problem is that in LaTeX there are fragile sections and
non-fragile sections and things go haywire sometimes.
Do this:
Section \protect{\ref{sec.introduction}}
and the fragile section will be protected.
I made a change to ametsoc.sty that will fix this problem in
most common situations, but you might still see it.

yes, this is what you do:
1. Make sure you are not using the [twocolumn] option.
2. Add the line:
\usepackage{multicol}
3. After the abstract section, specify that you are using two columns :
\end{abstract}
\begin{multicols}{2}
(main sections go here)
\end{multicols}
\end{document}
4. Unfortunately, multicol doesn't handle floats correctly. So, if you
have tables or figures, you have to end the multicolumn before you
start your table/figure and then restart it, i.e:
\end{multicols}
\begin{figure}
...
\end{figure}
\begin{multicols}{2}
...
Hope this helps.
