Indeed. The infor given there is wrong, both wrt to the current gui and in general. Cf. LaTeX companion 2nd Ed., p. 287: "The order of the given specifiers is irrelevant, and all specifiers should be given at most once. For example, [bt] is the same as [tb] and thus does /not/ instruct LaTeX to try to place the float at the bottom and only then try to place it on the top." LaTeX always checks in this order !htbp, no matter how you input the specifiers. Jürgen
