[OS X TeX] twocolumn documentclass and tables

[Henrik L A]

Hi LaTeX'ers,

I'm writing my thesis and I'd like to use a twocolumn-layout. However, 
this seems to cause some problems with my tables, which I want to be 
one-column. I have found an ad hoc solution, but I tought that 
something smarter was maybe possible. My solution is:

\documentclass[a4paper,twocolumn]{article}
[...]
bla bla bla
[...]

\onecolumn
[table is inserted]
\twocolumn

But this solution use the margin that "fits" the \twocolumn-environment 
on the table-site (which looks wierd) and it puts the table on a new 
page (I'd like two-column text above and below the table).

Any hints?

Kind regards,
Henrik Lindegaard
