You're jumping through linguistic hoops in an attempt to get away from the fact, plain and simple, that a "Table" can be inserted into a "Table Float". You should be finding a more elegant means of expressing "Table Float" if you are really worried by all of this. To continue the splitting of linguistic hairs, "Tabular Material" might /just/ be explainable as the stuff you put into a table. Words, numbers etc. I wouldn't be confident of surviving a visit from the "Elegant Language Police" with such a justification however. Regards, Angus
