I'm using troff with me macros to format text in 2 columns (by using .2c).
My problem is that I have tables wider than 1 column, so I want them to
go across both columns:
    text  text
    text  text
    big_table
    text  text
Does anyone know how to do this?  I tried switching to 1 column mode
for the table, but that totally mangled everything.

Thanks for any help,
