The ms macros can produce two-column text.
A page can start in one column mode and change to
two column in the middle (.2C).
However, trying to change from two column to one column
causes a page break.
I am looking for a way to have a one column floating
keep in two column text. The floating keep will ALWAYS
be released at the top of the next page so there will
never be a need to convert from two column to one column
in the middle of the page.
This will be very useful for large figures and tables
in a two column document.
Has anyone hacked on the ms macros to implement this capability ?
