Yes. Assuming a standard document where the floats shall stay floating:

1. use the standard latex package flafter which prevents moving a
   float to a place before its definition (not reference in the text).
   
   In the LaTeX preamble:

 \usepackage{flafter}  

2. In your document source, move the float-inset behind the
   introduction in the main text.

 I suggest you try the placeins-package ( 
 http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/placeins.html ).
 It provides the command \FloatBarrier which helps keeping floats between 
 defined points.
 In case you don't know, you can add \usepackage{placeins} to your 
 document preamble and insert \FloatBarrier at any point you want in 
 TeX-Code (crtl+L).

I don't remember from where I took the following, but it should do the
same thing, or not?

\let\mySection\section
\renewcommand{\section}{\suppressfloats[t]\mySection}

How to adjust float figure behavior?

2009-04-05 Thread Sophie (itsme213)
At the moment, when I use a float figure it typically appears before the 
point where it is introduced in the text, often appears in the middle/end of 
the *previous* section.

Is there a way to get float figures to appear at or after the point in the 
text where they are introduced, even if that means the top of the *next* 
page?

Thanks!

Yes, right-click on the float's button, and deselect Use default 
placement and choose : Here if possible or Here definitely (which 
depends on how desperate you are).
