Text Flow in two-columned Document

Post by aquafina »

Hello,

Please help me with this weird problem.

I have a 2-column page. Right in the middle of this page is a 1-column table that spans through the entire width of the page.

To illustrate my problem better, let me divide the page into 4 quadrants with the table (represented by dashed line) in the middle.

A B
-----
-----
C D

My problem is that, the text flows from section A to B and then C to D.

Is there a way this text can flow in the 1st column A to C first and then move to the 2nd column. That is,

A C
-----
-----
B D

Thank you.
Hope I was able to explain my problem.
