anyone out there having a rainy weekend and wants something to think about? I am preparing a longish book with LaTeX (200 pages) with a lot of floating tables and figures. the publisher complains, rightly, that there are occasions when I refer to a table/figure on a right hand page, and the object itself comes on the following left-hand page, forcing the reader to keep turning the page (as opposed to flicking). The figure is inserted in the text at the same place as the reference. SO, anyone got any suggestions about how to fix this up? it strikes me as almost impossible to do algorithmically, even if LaTeX understood about forcing tables/figures onto odd-numbered pages.
