In fact, I'm trying to do something very much like the example in the manual section 13.3: the paragraph with the various cows. However, the graphic in my version of "\placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[bkoe]}" is getting overwritten by the text. Am I missing some necessary step? I note that in section 12.2, the way to do this seems to be with \startfiguretext... But the manual says: "When the text is longer than expected, then it will _not_ flow around the float." That seems to be true: when I try it the latter part of the paragraph does not flow under the figure. But I also see in that section that the text does flow under a left-aligned figure. As does the "cows" paragraph in 13.3 without using \startfiguretext at all. How do I do that? Am using 2002.5.20, -Bill -- Sattre Press The King in Yellow http://sattre-press.com/ by Robert W.
