[comp.text.tex] Need some help

andrew@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu (Andrew Lim) (08/22/90)

I need to make my paper into a 2 column format. Unfortunately, the
figures and tables seems to be too big to fit into one column. What 
should I do? Is there a way to reduce the size of the table/figure
by alot? Is it possible to fit the table/figure into 2 columns?

Thanks.

In two-column format, saying "\begin{figure*} ... \end{figure*}" produces
a figure which spans both columns.  "\begin{table*}" works similarly.
