I always anchor tables and figures in their own paragraph with a style called Anchorline. Anchor line is set to 2pt text. Peter
============================================ Original Message Richard Combs had a comment in the thread "Question about the hyperlink from the LOF to the figure": "NOTE: There's a good case to be made for anchoring tables in their own empty pgf, not at the end of the preceding text pgf, but I don't want to complicate this any further. :-)" This made me curious! I searched the archives, and I found 2 relevant threads, which provided more food for thought: "small paragraphs for adding tables" from Sept. 1, 2005 "RE: start a table at top of column?" from Sept 18, 2005 My take on this - and I am looking for support, comments, or modifications - is that you should have a unique table anchor paragraph tag for anchoring all tables. I believe this gives you best overall control. Two reasons so far: 1. A unique tag always gives good control over material. 2. Wise formatting of this tag gives consistent spacing. And because the formatting is built into a tag, you do not have to resort to any manual formatting, which you might need to do, if you just attach/anchor the table to the preceding block of text or whatever. Right now, our policy is no separate paragraph tags for tables. I am currently working on a monster manual with over 600 tables. There are many situations where you have table after table with no text inbetween. Based on this, I want to propose that we do have a unique tag for anchoring tables. Richard's comment came at a perfect time, so now I am asking what the rest of you think - or whether Richard wants to reveal his reasons? I'd like to hear what people have to say.
