I am currently working on a document of about 200 pages with over 200 figures, and getting the reasonable float placement has been quite an interesting experience. I spent more time than I really wanted to reading the details of how LaTeX decides where to put a float -- the documentation of how these LaTeX settings really affect the output is dense, complex and abstruse. I only arrived at a satisfactory solution by repeated trial and error, and I'm still not sure why the settings I'm using give the results they do. -- Les ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
