Inserting a Full Width Table in a 2 Column Document

[BJC]

Couple of Questions:

I am using a dual column layout and need to insert a full width table
spanning across two columns. I can do this by inserting the table and then
selecting and hitting the 1 column button. Problem is that now the text is
broken above and below the table, so instead of reading through from top left
to bottom of page (through the table) then to the top of the right column and
down, you read top left down to column then to top right of page down to
column and then back to the right below the column and repeat.

How can I insert the table and let it span into the right column with text
wrapping around.

Put the table in a textbox.

Or a frame. Or, in Word 2000 or above, just set the text wrapping to Around.
