If I'm writing a typical user manual, my preferred solution for pagination overrides is to float tables and figures. Floating rarely produces pagination problems--that's the main purpose of floating, as far as I can tell. I give tables and figures numbered titles and I'm careful to cite each one in the text, whether by Xref alone or with an explanation of their contents, so that the reader can find it (floating is an option for tables but not frames, so I put all graphics in tables).
Some clients are uncomfortable with floating. They insist that the table or figure must appear directly before or after the text to which they refer, but I've never had a user complain about it. Floating moves the table only a page away. = Mike Bradley www.techpubs.com
