I am very new to TeX development. I have created One column layout and
two column layout using \twocolumn and option [twocolumn].
In Three column I cannot use \threecolumn command, but I used package
threecolumn.sty, floats are not placed. I need some samples or
guidance from TeX experts.

Dear Lakshmi,

Have you had a look at the multicol package?

Hi Marc Van Dongen,

Thanks, I have tried multicol package, but I cannot place the FIGURES
and tables.
Kindly give some file for develop.

There are six different ways to place figures and tables in a
three-column page:

1. col 1 only
2. col 2 only
3. col 3 only
4. span cols 1-2
5. span cols 2-3
6. span cols 1-3 (full-width)

You must tell us what you want to do: we cannot guess. Placement in
multicolumn setting must be done manually: there is no automation that I
know of.
