at 0.5in; this is true for both the abstract and the keywords. Make it a length and then the user can tweak.

Hi David. I was not exactly sure what you mean by this but forwarded it to our latex programmer who is working on v6.1 and she says

"\leftskip=12pt or \setlength{leftskip}{12pt} produce the same results, so using the first form doesn't hardcode the dimension. I got used to the briefer form of setting dimensions while originally working with TeX. The longer forms for setting dimensions, while logical, were introduced in LaTeX and don't seem particularly advantageous over the simpler call..."

Does this address your question or are you asking for something else?

If a user wants a different indentation for the abstract, what is the interface?
