Hi. If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged.

I'd like to put a table in landscape, i.e. rotate
it by ninety degrees so it can fit on my page without
being messed up. Any ideas?

Also, is it possible to switch from the onecolumn
format to twocolumn and back without those annoying
page breaks?

Thanks ,

\usepackage{lscape} % part of the graphics bundle
...
\begin{landscape}
...
\end{landscape}

\usepackage{multicol}
...
\begin{multicols}{3} % for example
...
\end{multicols}

You cannot use one-column float with multicols, however. If you need
one-column layout for things like abstracts, use

\twocolumn[\begin{abstract} One-column stuff \end{abstract}]
Two-column stuff.

Happy TeXing!
