I have an appendix section in my document, and I have to put a table after that. The problem is that I intend to use table* , but if I use that it would ignore table*[h] and will place the table on top of next page leaving a whole blank page after section appendix. And if I use table together with [h] it does place the table right after the appendix section name, but the problem is the caption now is one column as the document is basically two column. So, now I have two solutions, first, bring the table* in such a a way that it starts right after appendix section. But I know that [h] does not work with table* . Second solution might be to use table[h] and make the caption span two columns so that it does not look bad. How can I achieve any two of these, or any other solutions?

\twocolumn[ \section \begin . ] . so the heading and table are in a one-column block before the two column text starts
