Dear TeXers,
I wrote a text in LaTeX using multicol.sty v1.3a dated <90/05/20> and doc.sty
v1.7d dated <92/04/25>. However, the behaviour was the same with newdoc.sty.
The file has the following form:

\documentstyle[doc]{article}
% some preamble commands
\begin{document}
\title{title name} % and the rest
\maketitle
\begin{quote}
Short abstract
\end{quote}

\begin{multicols}{2}[\section{section name}]
Some text

\begin{figure*}[hp]
some figure definition commands
\end{figure*}

some more text
\end{multicols}

% I am still on page 1

\begin{multicols}{2}[\section{section name}]
Text of the second section
\end{multicols}

etc.

I know that the figure takes the whole page so I would expect it on page 2.
However, it is moved to the very end of the document. I tried different
positioning options after \begin{figure*} (also no options) but the result was
always the some.

Is there some way to put the figure on the page 2 without the necessity of
making the adjustment manually?

Thanks for all answers in advance.
