General ⇒ New to LaTex - Having table issues

[stewartrutledge]

I have texshop for Mac and I am trying to turn some written notes into a fancier looking environment. While I guess Word would suffice...well I'm sure anyone here knows why I would rather use LaTeX.

In any event, I created several tables in two sub sections. In the first subsection the table appears like this

Subsection Header

//table\\

some text

//table\\

Then this is where I run into an issue. Below that I have another subsection start with another table below it. However this ends up like this

Subsection Header





-------------page break--------------















//table\\


As in the table appears on the page below it (even though there is plenty of room and I have TINY margins) in the center of the second page. I am going to attach my tex file. Any help would be HUGLEY appreciated! Thank you very much!

Hi,

welcome to the board!
Try

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[!hb]

with the last table. For general information have a look at epslatex.

Give to each of the figure environments the optional parameters [!ht]. The last table environment lacks of any parameters. Perhaps you can explain to me what the parameter d in your combination [htdp] means.


Best regards and welcome to the board
