Oh-Oh!
I just tried out a figure float. Works great, except it puts the figure at
the top of the page, regardless of text flow. That means you can't use words
like "following" or "preceding". Am I doing something wrong, or is this a
feature. I've never encountered a situation where you couldn't position a
figure relative to text, either in my self published work or my work for Sams
(Samba Unleashed).
I'm using a slight variant of the Book document class.
Thanks
Steve
