Thanks Robin,
there should be a 2 column float covering the whole first page and a 1
column float + 2 column text field on the second page. Both pages appear
quite well seperatly. But the page wanted in first position moves two
second place.
I tried the packages fixltx2e and fix2col (which sound very promising)
but nothing changes. The order of the displayed figures isn't equal to
the written order. Maybe I have to do something in addition after
loading the package (although it is written: "no more remains to be
done")?
