Hello Ross,

(2) The footnote has vanished. I suppose that means footnotes aren't

legal

in tables of this type... Can someone suggest a solution to this?

The footnote occurs within a floating table. Which page should it go

onto?

Put the {tabular} into a {minipage}, then the footnote will be tied

to that.

Ok--will try that.

Also, why declare the {table} inside the {enumerate} list, when you

know

that it will float to elsewhere? It probably works OK, but it makes

your

LaTeX source harder to read and thus complicates any later editing

that you

may need to do.

Well--ideally I don't really want it to float, I want it *right there*.
I'm still learning the finer points of these things, but I see your
point :)

If you don't want it to float, don't use a floating environment like
\begin{table}. Just leave it out. (And think twice about centering the
tabular.)

Without floating environment \caption will not work. There are tricks
how to do it but imagine what happens if there is no space for the
whole table on the page. You will have to invent some additional text
above the itemization list in order to put a few items and the table
to the next page. Just one item plus the table would look very ugly.
Do you really want to do that? I would rather think a bit more about
the document structure.

I don't know, what functionality of captions you need. For only text below (or above) the tabular, there are simple methods such as multicolumn or a surrounding tabular or a minipage / parbox.

For more specific functionality you should really think about what the purpose and structure of this table in this document are. Maybe, letting it flow is better suited.

Generally speaking: before forcing LaTeX to do something, it doesn't naturally support, think about adapting to LaTeX's way.
