When processing a manual i found out that the page float macro was overloaded by a wrong one, this is the one that works: \def\OTRONEsomepagefloat[#1]% {\global\setbox\collectedpagefloats=\vbox {\unvbox\collectedpagefloats \vbox to \teksthoogte {\doifnotinset{\v!hoog}{#1}{\vfill} \box\floatbox \doifnotinset{\v!laag}{#1}{\vfill}} \goodbreak}% \doinsertfloatinfo} [this one is in page-flt.tex but wrongly replaced in page-one.tex; the one above does what you expect; opposite to the postpponing, it does not collect floats on one page but puts them on separate pages; you can provide high/low keys too] Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------
