8
Floating objects are allowed to move on the page independently from the
9
main text. Usually they contain figures or tables which are too large to
10
nicely fit into the main text. A floating object may be inserted using
11
<subsubmenu|Insert|page insertion|floating object>.
13
You may also create a floating object and directly insert a figure or table
14
inside it using <subsubmenu|Insert|page insertion|floating figure> resp.
15
<subsubmenu|Insert|page insertion|floating table>. However, sometimes you
16
might want to insert several smaller figures or tables inside one floating
17
object. You may do this using <subsubmenu|Insert|image|small figure> resp.
18
<subsubmenu|Insert|table|small table>.
20
After creating a floating object, you may control its position using
21
<submenu|Insert|position float> (when inside the float). You may specify
22
whether you allow the floating object to appear at the top of the page, at
23
the bottom, directly in the text, or on the next page. By default, the
24
float may appear everywhere. However, a floating object will never appear
25
inside the main text at less than three lines from the bottom or the top of
