Why is it so difficult to place figures and tables in a sensible location?
I have placed the tables and figures exactly where I want them to be. LyX (or Latex) puts them in ridiculous locations. It places tables very far from where they are inserted. It often puts some figures in different sections. I need to have a number figures and tables like this: TEXT 1 Fig 1 Fig 2 Fig 3 Fig 4 TEXT 2 Table 1 Table 2 TEXT 3 Appendix TEXT 4 TABLE (not floated) TABLE (not floated) How it comes out: TEXT 1 Fig 1 TEXT 2 Fig 2 Fig 3 Fig 4 Table 1 Table 2 TEXT 3 Appendix TEXT 4 TABLE (not floated) TABLE (not floated) I really don't want the tables and figures to float. But unless I place them in floats, I can't get captions. Is there some way to get captions without floats? I've tried using "!h" in the layout|document|extra entry but it does not good. Placement is completely unpredictable as I add or change the text. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Rick Bilonick
