How can I make a centered heading for the appendix for an IEEEtran conference format? I need the heading to have the same style as the headings that occur within the default IEEEtran conference double-column format.

Thank you in advance!

I figured it out. You can call the \onecolumn latex command to convert to a single-column format. Then you can easily create sections and revert back to the double-column format using the \twocolumn command.

  • You can also use the optional argument of \twocolumn to add a one column heading (which is what \maketitle does). Somewhat related: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/477188/removing-the-space-in-the-page-before-appendix – John Kormylo Oct 19 '22 at 14:57
