SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on how to switch from a double column format to a single column format in LaTeX for inserting a full-page table. The user Natski seeks a solution to temporarily break the two-column layout. The recommended approach involves using the LaTeX command \begin{widetext} to achieve this transition, allowing for the insertion of single-column content before returning to the double-column format.

Hi all,

I have a class file template which uses double columns throughout. I wish to insert a table which will fill the entire page so I need to somehow break the two column format for a small section and then go back to it afterwards.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Natski
