Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ force table* appear in the specific section

[avrakas]

I'm using
\begin{table*}[t] ... \end{table*} to place a table within a two-column format (IEEE) paper so that it takes the space of both columns. The problem is that the table appears after the next \section starts. Is it possible to force it appear at the top of the page before a new section starts?

Try a certain list of placement parameters.

Code: Select all

\begin{table*}[!ht]
  % table contents
\end{table*}
