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.
