A strut is something with height and depth which is not really what you want, because it takes some vertical space away. Ususally what I use is a TeX primitive "\null" that typesets an empty box; I don't think its typesetting will differ significantly from typesetting a strut: \page \null \vf

Thanks for the suggestion. But it's after using \vfill that I decided to write to the list. I had this code, which resembles your one: \vfill {\externalfigure[oggettiSonori/tipologia/spaziotipo][width=\textwidth] } \vfill \page here's the output http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/testFigu

Hi to all, Sorry if it's obvious. I'm preparing some slides and I'd like to have a figure in the middle of the slide. With \placefigure I place it center-justified horizontally. How can I force to be in the center of the text? Thanks Best -a- Andrea Valle DAMS - Facoltà di Scienze della Form
