IIRC, 'twocolumn' (*) style does not fit to ulriks wish. It places the
abstract in first column only, and does not align the bottoms of the
colomns.

Is 'multicol' style still available in modern LaTeX2e? (I only have
experience of classic LaTeX, none of 2e:-)

(*) twocolumn style format looks (IIRC again) like:

    Title    xxxxxxxxxxxxx
             xxxxxxxxxx
  Abstract
xxxxxxxxxxxx Section 3
xxxxxxxxxxxx 
xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx
             xxxxxxxxx  xx
Section 1    xxxxxxxxxxxxx
             xxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxx Appendix
xx  xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxx  xxxxxx

Section 2

xxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxx
