Page Layout ⇒ floating a quotation in the header of one page...

[quickq]

Hi,
There might be an easier way to do this, if so sorry, I tried searching the forums. I am trying to typeset my own pair of "flavor" quotations (I tried a package for this but didn't like its output), and would like to do it at the top of a page like a float.

This is what I have:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{float}
\newfloat{quotations}{t}{} %top of the page...

[...]

\begin{quotations}
\begin{flushright}
\emph{
``Eat your waffles''\\
Grandma\\
``You eat too many waffles''\\
Grandpa
}
\end{flushright}
\end{quotations}

(The actual quotations being used are longer.) My question is: how do I get this higher than just floating where another paragraph would normally be? I would like it higher, like in the header, unless you think it would be really ugly.

Sorry, I am just a beginner, I can't figure out by myself. Thank you for your help.

Hi,

you can use the textpos package to place material at absolute positions of a page. Of course, now you don't wnat your text to float, so there's no need to define a new floating object; your quotations should be treated as normal text.
