A two-column document with just a one-column page.

Post by turbomac »

Hello everyone:

I need to translate a part of a book written in two columns. The problem is that I have to add just a page page with some text in one column. The rest of the document is in two-column format.

I have looked for this problem in Google and also in the forum, but I haven't solved it.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advanced.

I'd just use the multicol package, which allows you to put some parts of the document in one column, others in two, e.g., with

Code: Select all

\begin{multicols}{2}
Stuff for two columns
\end{multicols}
The stuff not in that environment will be single-columned.

Alternatively, you could simply create the one page as a separate document and include it with \includepdf from the pdfpages package.
