Here's a minimal example of what I'm talking about.
I would like the Abstract to not start until it will be clear of the
logo graphic on the right side.
In the real document, I cannot be sure how much vertical space will
taken up by text items (Authors, subtitle, etc.) between the Title and
the Abstract, hence my question.
Maybe I am thinking about this in the wrong way and there is a
different approach? I have more of a DTP background.
