It did EXACTLY what you told it to do. [H] means "put it right between these two characters, damn it!" and it did exactly that. If you want it to fill in the blank space, you have to let it float! Try using [htp]. That means "put it right between these two characters, if you can. Otherwise, put it at the top of the next page, or on a separate page if it is too large." That sounds more like what you meant. Joseph Reuter, Apprentice Wizard ---------- "In theory, theory and practice are the same; in practice, they're not." -- anon
