General ⇒ puting a figure to a specified page

[me_here_me]

Hi
I have an 8 page document. I am using two columns format. I have two figures on page 3, one figure on top of each of the two columns. I want to place another figure at the bottom of the second column on page 3. But LATEX places that figure on the next page. How can i pull this figure onto page 3.

There is for sure more then enough space for both the figures to fit in there.

regards

Try to \clearpage after the last figure. But be aware that there will be a pagebreak after \clearpage

thanks i am yet to try \clearpage but i have another question already ....

I have a page in my document, with two columns. One of the columns has text while the other column is empty. In want that the text is on half the page, divided into to two columns where as i can include a full fledge figure at the lower half of the page

using \begin{figure*} didnot help

l never tried it before but use the \minipage command.
