Andy - you're a life saver! That would have probably taken me AGES to find out and since my paper is due in about 5 hours and I just found out they need it in a two column layout now you have probably saved my paper!
Yes indeed I always wonder how to do that. Thanks for your great tips.
I've tried using the
\begin{figure*}
\end{figure*}
figure definition you suggest but the large image is being generated at the end of my document rather then where I've defined it. It does this regardless of the place I set in the [] brackets. For example
\begin{figure*}[ht!]
\end{figure*}
Still puts the figure on the last page.
Any ideas?

Still have a problem in using IEEE Tran, when i use \begin{figure*} tag in two-columns format , it put the figure in the last page even after the refrences.
First, many thanks to Andy!
The multicol package may solve the problem but if you are using IEEE or other classes in your latex file, you could lose the correct format, such as the abstract format, etc.
After a lot of efforts, I think and would recommend to use Andy's idea and to put the big figure or table in an appropriate location, at a page earlier than the page, so that the figure or table could appear at your desired location. Hope it will help.

Great tip. Thanks!! It's so good that some people write these things on the internet. It saves us from a lot of time 
Great tip. I've been trying to figure this out for eons and eons. Thanks a lot. 
Thank you Andrew, You really saved my time. May God bless you and keep doing this and help others. We all should do like this.
Thanks a lot for your tip. I also found out that table* can be used to span table across 2 columns and thought it would be helpful if I post here,
Thank you very, very, very much!! This helps a lot since I was already searching 2 hours to find out how to do this!
Thanks Andy. I was looking for many complex solution and could not a good result. Your comments is just perfect.
I have used the \begin{figure*} \end{figure*} to span my figure across the width of the page but the generated pdf contains the word 'figure' where the \begin{figure*} \end{figure*} block is in my tex file.
Any fixes?
