After unindenting lots of floats, it finally occurred to me: Even when indentation is used for paragraph breaks in the body, it makes no sense to indent within a float--the preference should be overridden.
The nature of the float is that it's its own thing away from the text. I've tried, but cannot conceive of a situation where it makes sense for a table or figure to be indented by the same amount as a paragraph. hawk -- Richard E. Hawkins, Asst.
