That said, it's a PITA to get the abstract package to work with LyX.
Paul,
I've not followed this thread being busy with paying work. :-) But, I am
surprised you've had issues with it.
All my documents (letters, articles, reports, and books) use the
KOMA-script versions. I don't explicitly load an abstract package in the
document's preamble, just type it in the appropriate place, highlight it,
and select 'Abstract' from the environment menu. As long as I remember to
not put the title on the page it comes out correctly.
Were I to write a two-column article, I'd use the \multicols{} package and
put the abstract above that.
Just my 50-cents worth.
