Dear Lyx Users,
I tried the solution that Helge suggested, but its not working quite
right.
I need to put a long equation at the bottom of a two column formatted
paper.
LaTeX normally does not allow two-column-wide floats at the bottom, so
I am
using the stfloats package to allow that. Then I am using a figure
float:
\begin{figure*}[!b]
\begin{equation}
% equation
\end{equation}
\end{figure*}
However, the float ALWAYS appears at the bottom of the NEXT page, even if
there are no other floats on the page where I call that float. Any idea
what's going wrong and how I can get the equation float to go at the
bottom
of the page I want it to be on? Thanks!
There is always the work-around solution of simply placing the float on the
previous page. It will then float to the bottom of the next page, which
will be the correct one. (Unless you wanted it at page 1, which simply
isn't possible.)
This solution may be ok if you have only a few such floats. It will be
cumbersome if you have many, as any editing may move the page
boundaries.

has the
equation move to the bottom of the page where it can span across both
columns without breaking. It is further separated from the text by a
horizontal line. How can I create this with LaTeX?
Use a figure float. (Or a table float or algorithm float if you prefer.)
The type of float only affects the caption.
A figure float may span both columns, and it can be set to appear at
the bottom of the page. It will be numbered too, and the number
can be used for automatic referencing.
Instead of an actual graphich, put your wide formula inside the float.
Take care so it doesn't accidentally get into the caption though.
You can remove the caption if you don't want it - although it is
generally useful to have.
