Yes. What I have in a few places in my document is something like: one large float, 4 smaller floats, one other large float and then 3 smaller floats again. Latex decides to put the one large float on a separate page and then it puts all the rest of the floats on seperate pages also at the end of the Chapter. Its probably deciding that there are too many floats that will break the text. I get that behaviour even if I select 'top of page' for all the floats. I managed to get the floats pretty much where I want them with info from this website: http://people.cs.uu.nl/piet/floats/node1.html Particularly with the use of: \afterpage{\clearpage} and by moving some floats between paragraphs. I was just hoping that Latex would figure all this out for me. Thanks for the answers, Guillaume
