Yes, Herbert's "Tips and Tricks" were my starting point. They showed me which setting I needed to change. But the tips are, by their nature, terse, so I had to hunt through the documentation to find out what each parameter really does, and even then I had to try it out until I found something that worked for my case. As for the unfortunate title of this thread, if you want really pathetic figure placement, try getting decent figure layouts in a conventional word processor. Those who want perfect figure placement should perhaps use a publishing program such as Scribus. But be prepared to place every figure exactly where you want it -- one at a time. -- Les ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
