My bad, found the problem. I had this error: “to many unprocessed floats”. By using the caption package, the size of some captions may be changed, and suddenly LaTeX placed all my figures at the end of the document. This happened with so many figures that LaTeX couldn’t put them down nicely on a page any more. By using the float package, I forced some figures in position, and problem solved.

An other solution when you got the error is putting in a \clearpage or \cleardoublepage command to allow a page full of figures to be generated.

When i use the caption package, I got tons of errors after the place where I used the \captionof command… When I do not include the caption package, I only got 2 errors, there where I used the \captionof command…
anyone?

Hi Albert,

I cannot reproduce what you are referring to. Can you please provide a minimal example? Might it be that your tables together are wider than the document’s “textwidth” and hence one is pushed to the next “line”?

Cheers,
Tom.

Laying out two tables of uneven length aligns both tables vertically in the middle. How would I align them both to the top?

I think that this is exactly the problem that Si was asking about?

I found the solution by modifying the help given in http://www.win.tue.nl/latex/documentation/plaatjes/pictures.pdf

\parbox [h]{0.4\textwidth}{
\includegraphics [width=\linewidth]{drawing.eps}
\captionof {figure}{caption1}
\label{fig:draw}
}
%\hfill
\hspace{0.5cm}
\parbox [h]{0.4\textwidth }{
\captionof {table}{caption2}
\begin{tabular}{|c|l|}
\hline
a & b
\hline
\end{tabular}
\label{tab:table1}
}

I am also trying to put a figure and a table side by side. They end up getting both Figure captions or table captions.

I am not able to give simultaneously different captions i.e. figure to figure and table to table.

Somebody please help.
Cheers

Amar
