Floating figures and tables are useful for automating page breaks, but I too have encountered people who insist that the figure must always immediately follow the reference. Can anyone help me understand where this rule originated? I don’t know where the rule came from. Probably from

One way to find overrides is to create a special template that is identicial to your standard template, but with all fonts set to a bright colour you don't normally use. When you apply the special template, the overrides show up as unchanged black text. David Shaked (Wernick) wrote
