Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ 'magnetic' tables not showing up where they should

[kevinyeandel]

Hi
I've tried loads of variations in regards to where to place tables but the layout is constantly messed up.

I thought the
\begin{table}[!h]
meant put the table here amongst the text. I just get a collection of tables at the bottom of my doc.

It seems to ignore \newpage\section{new section} and it's text and pushes the section above these tables. I'm really going crazy after 2 days of this..

I've tried floats and all sorts but still they collect at the bottom of the doc.

Anyone got any clues as to why this is happening?

Thanks
Kevin
PS. Using LEd

We could do with a full example of what you are doing. Note that !h means "here if possible" (even with the !). Try loading the float package and using the H specifier (= here or nowhere).

You should get some messages in the log file that your placement parameter is overwritten. This single parameter is simply to restricting for positioning your floats. Before using the float package, try [!ht] as option list for your floats.


Best regards
