Another way to tackle this problem may be to just not use floats. As the name suggests, these construct is meant to let things float. :) If you want a figure or table to be placed at exactly the point where you place it, why are you using a float environment? Most people answer at this point, because they want the captions and all examples with captions use the float environment. Thats because with captions and in the general case it makes sense to let LaTeX find the right place for these things. If you want exact, controlled placements and also a caption, have a look at the package 'caption' (version 3.1, author Axel Sommerfeldt). Then you can get rid of floats and don't have to bother with obscure placement rules. :) =2D-=20 Until the next mail..., Stefan. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJOUKV7AAoJEDOHnMhBIWx1hEoIAKHI5MRJNwRT8dB75kjbXQP2 I6sMnHvdmMjIXYEHyML+FuCa4CTUSJCzg7kJCzQQ+onlcxij8aT7TnXO3b/jK9Qi N3qZIrMgjCPpfbaIG5zymLyIclC/AZY9Np/LkMOOPQdhBkmUphWFZgkG/Oo56rEL 6DM5CmS7Gxa593gTGJ2SUK7VC30Vz2+AxOfFziQf/CIl//UAZKpdK+vJhInJYhho ivuEFKOCV8qssKVbt9VRu/lc8I6cP7a9TC9Ve0N9HF+kKMCgrywcWAjkKIE3hXby KCFnIAobXsTvAiDckB0VTJm8TWx8vu0/bwUlG+MtPwQ4KJzwZHLT4Q2UDFTC4/c= =jyaF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
