Subject: \placefigure unpredicatable.
Date: Tue, 21 May 2002 10:03:18 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200205211003.18202.john@wexfordpress.com> (raw)
I have found the \placefigure command to be somewhat unpredictable.
I am doing book reviews on 11 x8.5 format (i.e. landscape), double column.
At the head of each review on the left side of the column I have some short
lines ended with \hfil\break. On the right side I have a thumbnail of the
book, typically 1.5in x 2in.
If I use \placefigure the picture ends up in the middle and the short lines
fall under it. If however I do something like:

Then it works. (\bk is a macro for \hfil \break).
