Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Single-columned Table after two-columned Text

[manojg]

Hi,

I am trying to put a one column table after two column text (in two-columned environment) on the same page, like this:

Code: Select all

text text ...................
text text ...................
\begin{table*}[htb]
\caption{}
\begin{tabular}{C{2cm} C{2cm} C{2cm} C{2cm} C{2.1cm} C{2.4cm}}
..........
..........
\end{tabular}
\end{table*}

where C is for center alignment, which I found on this forum somewhere.

Code: Select all

\newcolumntype{C}[1]{>{\centering\let\newline\\\arraybackslash\hspace{0pt}}m{#1}}

The problem is: it forces the table to the next page. Two column text after one column table works fine.

Any suggestion?

Thanks.

As far as I know that's a restriction of two-column documents you'll have to live with. I'm not completely sure, though. Maybe someone else can confirm it or correct me on this.
