General ⇒ place float inbetween paragraphs

[otoomet]

Hi,

is there any way I can force all the floats to be placed only in between paragraphs, not on top/bottom of page? I know I can play around with [h], [h!] and [H] but aren't there any easier way to get the effect for all the figures at once?

Thanks in advance,
Ott

BTW -- please do not blame me about this stupid rule for our department proceedings

If your pictures (and tables) aren't allowed to float, don't use a float environment. Just use the caption package to get a corresponding caption and place the objects in a center environment.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf]{caption}
\usepackage[bindingoffset=1cm,centering,includeheadfoot,margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{array,booktabs}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{txfonts}

\begin{document}
  \blindtext
  \begin{center}
    \rule{12.8cm}{7.2cm}
    \captionof{figure}[Dummy figure LoF entry]{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy}
  \end{center}
  \blindtext
  \begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{m{3cm}m{5cm}m{5cm}}\toprule
      Column 1 & Column 2 & Column 3 \\\toprule
     The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. &
      The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. &
      The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. \\\midrule

    \captionof{table}[Dummy table LoT entry]{Dummy table}\label{tab:dummy}
  \end{center}
  \blindtext
\end{document}
