Hello,
I have the table of contents written in a two-column page but the rest of the document is not.
I would like to write the title above the two columns and not inside the column.
The figure TOC1 is what I have and TOC is what I want to have.

Title of a two-column page
This hardly depends on the used class. Depending on the used class and already used ToC packages you can to use a package like tocbasic or titletoc. Some classes may also provide their own page style interface. So if you need more help, please show us a
minimal working example.

Sorry, but I can no longer participate here as the administrator is trampling on my wishes on one of his other platforms.

Title of a two-column page
This is not a minimal working example, and even worse, the documentclass options do not match the class in use.
They would match that of a template class however. A template i wouldn't recommend using.

The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Title of a two-column page
I would suggest to replace class article by report, set option twocolumn and remove
\begin[env]multicols[/env]
and \end[env]multicols[/env]
. And please remove font switches like \huge
from terms like \contentsname
. This is dangerous and not needed, if you'd use the correct class. BTW: Switchs like \huge
do not have arguments. Johannes is absolutely right: the code is a very bad example.Sorry, but I can no longer participate here as the administrator is trampling on my wishes on one of his other platforms.

I don't know what minimal means, so I just copied the beginning of the code.
I'm trying to change a template from Word to Latex, so I'm trying to be the most faithful.
I will change the class to report and see.
Thank you for your help.
