Eyes saw "top", brain transliterated it to "high," effect was wrong.  Now I am 
all better. The other effect was interesting though.  I also discovered that 
if I use "placefigure" instead of "placetable" it works but the caption says 
figure instead of table. My customer likes to misname things, like calling 
tables figures, and parts "sections".  This latter aberration is becoming 
common. Context allows me to adapt even to bad nomenclature. 

Thanks to you and Wolfgang.  Frequently my Celtic brain needs Teutonic 
correction :<)
