I'm creating an exam using the exam class which I think uses redefine list environments.

Anyway, I want to include a figure in one of my problems, but I want to ensure that the figure appears under the first line of text in the problem, and if there isn't space for it on the page, I want the text to move with the figure.

Using just the figure environment moves the figure to the next page but leaves the text behind. How do I force them together?

Hi dmt,

you probably don't need the figure environment, because the figure doesn't need to be able to float. Have a look here for possible solutions: Prevent floating of figures or tables. Further you could put the figure and the text together into one minipage environment.

Thanks, that was really helpful. The float package had a nice option H that works well here.
