Hi, I had a problem with floating tables/figures a ways back, found here: http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg25566.html The solution, which was simply inserting #+ATTR_LATEX: placement=[H], worked perfectly. I just ran into it again, however. my org file has the following order in a section: * section text before table 1 table 1 (featuring both #+CAPTION and #+ATTR_LATEX: placement [H]) text before table 2 table 2 (featuring both #+CAPTION and #+ATTR_LATEX: placement [H]) But it's being exported to pdf like so: text before table 1 text before table 2 table 1 table 2 The exported .tex has this for table 1: \begin{table}[htb] \caption{table 1 caption} \begin{center} If I manually change the \begin{table}[htb] line to \begin{table}[H], things work exactly as I want. Somehow the [H] option just isn't making it through... Just to be sure I created an blank org file with only this: * test #+CAPTION: test table #+ATTR_LaTeX: placement=[H] | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | |------+------+------+------| | test | test | test | test | | test | test | test | test | It gets exported to this: \begin{table}[htb] \caption{test table} \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{llll} Did something change between 6.35 and 7.01 or in the LaTeX table options?
