-
- There are two easy solutions.
-
- 1) If you need the tables to appear in the text, get the multicols package
- from an archive. Put [multicol] in as a documentstyle option, and switch
- between 1 and 2 columns at will; even in the middle of a page.
-
- OR
-
- 2) For tables that float, Use {table*}, which fills the whole page width.
- See Lamport's book.
-
- These solutions are mutually exclusive because multicols does not support
- full width floats.
