Problem on text, tables order

Post by latexaro »

Hello, I have a problem on order of objects in my document. In my document there are text and some floating tables, when I compile the pdf though all the tables are moved after the text, how can I solve this?
Regards

I guess it's because LaTeX has problems placing your tables. Possibly because of less positioning options, or they might simply be too big.

How do you create your tables? Which options do you use for a table environment?

Try: right click on a table, choose "Placement". Add any possible option, such as "here", "top", "bottom", and "page". The more option, the easier to place for LyX.

Or, go to Layout/ Document/ Extra, choose !htbp for default placement, and see if it's better.

It partially solved the problem, there is still some text not moving. I'll have to play a bit to see what happens, thanks for your help
