I have a paper I am trying to typeset in twocolumn mode using the twocolumn
style.  In the paper, I have several tables which are too wide to fit in a
single column while in twocolum mode.  However, LaTeX attempts to squeeze them
in (with poor results).

Is there a simple solution to getting wide tables formatted properly in a
twocolum paper.  Ideally, I would like the tables to be formatted in onecolumn
mode, but text in twocolumn mode.  I tried to manually switch between the two,
but then I had to mess with moving text around, inserting page/line breaks,
etc.  Is there a simpler solution? 


Thanks
Brian
