Hi guys I am tasked with reformatting a paper for an academic conference and I would like a nice MS word template for academic journal articles (2-column, I have graphs as well.)

Can anyone enlighten me on how to have 2 columns for the paper, but basically keep the title/subtitle/author centered at the top. Also how do I place graphs/images in the center of the page when I have 2-column mode turned on?

Thank you

IMHO, it's a good idea to use latex for this instead of MSword.
 
Try this

Also, I agree with the latex comment
