\previouspage command?

Post by nlct »

It's just occurred to me that there's a much simpler solution:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}% dummy text for sample document
\begin{document}
\twocolumn[\parbox{\textwidth}{\lipsum[1-2]}]
\lipsum[3-5]
\begin{table*}
\centering
A very wide table
\caption{Sample table}
\end{table*}
\lipsum[6-8]
\end{document}

Brilliant, Nicola!

This was exactly the solution I needed.

I was still having some issues with words running beyond the width of the columns, but I even found a fix to that. Instead of your suggested \documentclass{article} I changed your code to \documentclass[twocolumn]{article}. Now everything is perfectly aligned--my floats do float, my colum-width and page-width figures and tables all work perfectly!

Thank you so much for your help!
