Hi. When LaTeX needs to move a float from its place to another one due to
layout problems, a huge empty space keeps there, instead of puting together
the paragraphs before and after the space. How can I solve this problem???
This problem occur wen you have set the float placement option to
"Here definetively". If a float could in this case not "float" the
paragraph behind it could not be placed before the float to fill the space.
To avoid this allow floats to "float". If necessary, use the newpage
command in front of a float to force the float to be on top of a new
page or behind a float to force two float to appear on the same page -
play a bit with these settings if you don't like the results without
newline commands.
Here are some general float settings that can be adjusted in the
document preamble:
\renewcommand{\floatpagefraction}{0.7}
This increases the value of the page height at which floats appear alone
on a page. In the case above only floats larger than 70% of the page
height will appear alone on a page. The default value is 0.5.
\renewcommand{\bottomfraction}{0.5}
This increases the value of the page height at which floats may appear
at the bottom of a page. The default is 0.3.
You can also adjust the value \topfraction (its default is 0.5).
