How do i format the abstract title? Also, i thought this was built into latex, but in LEd it says it doesn't recognize it, so i add \usepackage{abstract}. Is this suppose to be like this.
Sorry new to latex, so still trying to get the hang of it.

it depends on your document class. Which one do you use?– Stefan Kottwitz ♦Commented May 6, 2011 at 21:45

I think that the title of an abstract is usually just 'Abstract', hence the fact that instruction manuals often don't tell you how to change it. For the report class, you can do the following.
\documentclass{report}
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{I want a different heading}
\begin{document}
\begin{abstract}
This is the abstract.
\end{abstract}
\end{document}
