The proc Style Option

The proc option is used with the article document style. It produces two-column output for ACM and IEEE conference proceedings. The command \copyrightspace makes the blank space at the bottom of the first column of the first page, where the proceedings editor will insert a copyright notice. This command works by producing a blank footnote, so it is placed in the text of the first column. It must go after any \footnote command that generates a footnote in that column.

LATEX automatically numbers the output pages. It's a good idea to identify the paper on each page of output. Placing the command

     \markright{Jones---Foo}
in the preamble (before the \begin{document} command) prints ``Jones—Foo'' at the bottom of each page.
