Noindent in \thanks, left align

Question

I am using the following command in WinEdt to have the corresponding author contact info at the footnote. I used \\ to have a new line since it was long.

I have two problems. First I need to left align letter "C" of the "Corresponding author" with the letter "E" of Email in the footnote. Second, I should interchange *,a with a,* in the 2nd line after first Author Name. Thanks and sorry if the first version of my question was not clear.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{authblk}
\title {\bf  Title}
 \author[,a]{Author Name\thanks{Corresponding author. Tel.: +0 (000) 000 0000 ext. 00000; fax: +0 (000) 000 0000.\\ E-mail: email@123.com}}

\author[b]{Author Name}
\affil[a]{Department of , University of , Address, BB, CC}
\affil[b]{Department of , University of , Address, BB, CC}

\date{\today}
\begin {document}
\maketitle
\end{document}

If you don't mind changing the space between the line and the note, use \authorcr before "Corresponding author" — Martien Lubberink, Nov 07 '17 at 20:51

In this instance, it is far easier to insert the appropriate space needed to horizontally align the two lines. The exact space is 1.8em:

enter image description here

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{authblk}% http://ctan.org/pkg/authblk
\title{\textbf{Title}}
\author[,a]{Author Name\thanks{Corresponding author. Tel.: +0 (000) 000 0000 ext. 00000; fax: +0 (000) 000 0000.\\
  \hspace*{1.8em}E-mail: email@123.com}}
\author[b]{Author Name}
\affil[a]{Department of , University of , Address, BB, CC}
\affil[b]{Department of , University of , Address, BB, CC}
\date{\today}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}

_{For reference, also see Does it matter if I use \textit or \it, \bfseries or \bf, etc. and Will two-letter font style commands (\bf, \it, …) ever be resurrected in LaTeX?}

Thanks a lot Werner. Do you know how I can change *,a with a,*? — Stat, Oct 19 '13 at 07:30

Assuming you are using the article class, you can use the following:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{titling}
\settowidth{\thanksmarkwidth}{*}
\setlength{\thanksmargin}{-\thanksmarkwidth}

\title{Test}
\author{author\thanks{Corresponding author. Tel.: +0 (000) 000 0000 ext. 00000; fax: +0 (000) 000 0000.\newline E-mail: \texttt{email@123.com}}}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\end{document}

I edited my question. The package you mentioned is not working with the ones that I have. I need letter "E" be right below letter C of the Corresponding author and not aligned with the *. Also, I should interchange *,a with a,* in the 2nd line after first Author Name. – Stat Oct 19 '13 at 07:12

This is a kludge, and maybe not what you are looking for, but it seems to solve your second problem, while using the ideas above for the first:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
%\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % This line didn't work on my system...
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage{authblk}

\title{The Title}
\author[b]{Author Name\textsuperscript{a,}\thanks{\noindent Corresponding author. Tel.: +0 (000) 000 0000 ext. 00000; fax: +0 (000) 000 0000.\\
\hspace*{1.8em}E-mail: email@123.com}\, and
Author Name}

\affil[a]{Department of , University of , Address, BB, CC}
\affil[b]{Department of , University of , Address, BB, CC}
\date{\today}

\begin{document}
\maketitle



\end{document}
