Is there any way of doing this? it doesn't seem at all obvious to me; you asked for a floating figure not for a "picture". unless you need a caption, there's absolutely no sense in using a figure environment. try \begin{abstract} \begin{center} \includegraphics[scale=3]{picture.eps} \end{center} \end{abstract} or the like. further points: -- never use the center environment in figures, as you have done -- it introduces unwanted extra vertical space. say \centering instead. (note this doesn't work with "legacy" graphics packages, but graphics/ graphicx -- which you're using -- are fine.) -- you _can_ get captions outside of figures, even. see the ccaption package, or the (trivially simple) capt-of package.

Does anyone know if there is any Optical Character Recognition software (preferably for Windows 95, but Linux is another possibility) that can read mathematics and convert it to (reasonably accurate) LaTeX?

I was wondering if any of you knew how to include brackets [] in the caption of threeparttable. When I include these, I get an additional bracket and a dot at the beginning of my caption like this: Table 4.2: . ]Summary of blah blah blah Doe [1991]. Any help?

The conference will be held in an old abbey, Rolduc, near the city of Kerkrade. Participants will be welcomed on Sunday evening the 23rd of September. The conference proper will start on Monday and continue until Wednesday. On Thursday courses and tutorials may be given. The theme of the conference is:=20 \begin{center} \TeX\ and Meta\\ the Good, the Bad and the Ugly Bits \end{center} So, what are "Good, Bad and Ugly Bits"? Traditionally we tend to focus on Good Bits because they are so rewarding. It feels good to see a beautifully typeset document that you were able to produce using all the power that \TeX\ and Metafont/MetaPost provide. We try to forget how many Bad Bits we had to overcome, and are proud that we found more or less elegant ways to program around them. Nevertheless, some of these difficulties should be regarded as Ugly Bits that would not exist in an ideal world. What can we do?=20 First of all, keep up the Good Bits and extend them if possible. Analyze the Bad Bits, learn from them, and find easy and generic ways to get around them. Find the Ugly Bits and eradicate them! Let's make progress! Of course we need a lot of discussion to distinguish between Good, Bad and Ugly, and about ways to deal with them. We invite you all to demonstrate either of these bits. Feel free to present your application (Good, not Bad or Ugly) at the conference! At this conference we would like to take a new view on contributions. \begin{itemize} \item Of course we welcome a presentation accompanied by a written paper, as usual. \item But does it bother you to write a paper, or does your contribution seem fit for an interesting presentation but not for a written paper? We will welcome the presentation equally much, and do with only a short summary on paper or even entirely without the paper work. \item Or do you find yourself in the opposite situation: You would like to clarify your new package or other work extensively on paper but believe that it would be unsuitable to cover it equally extensively in an oral presentation? Feel free to let us have your paper and at the conference present only the highlights. \item Or do you believe your ideas only warrant a short presentation without a paper? It is equally welcome. \end{itemize} We do expect from each contributor a \emph{short summary} of the proposed contribution. This summary will inform the Program Committee of your plan. And at the conference it will be the introduction to your contribution, or your complete contribution if that is what you propose. We invite you to submit your proposal for a contribution to the conference. You can send it by email to \euromail. If you have no access to e-mail you can send your contribution to: \begin{flushleft} Euro\TeX\ 2001 program committee\\ Spuiboulevard 269\\ 3311 GP Dordrecht\\ The Netherlands. \end{flushleft} In such a case we would ask you to submit your paper in electronic form on a floppy disk. We are working with the following time schedule: \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{ll} may 10 & deadline for receiving proposals\\ june 10 & deadline for receiving full draft papers\\ july 11 & end of review\\ august 11 & deadline for receiving final, reviewed papers\\ \end{tabular} \end{center} An up-to-date list of contributions as well as more information about the conference can be found at \euroweb. \end{document} ------_=_NextPart_000_01C0C18B.4A80B41C-- ---------- Message: 5 From: Mimi Burbank Subject: TUGboat 21:3 (TUG 2000 Proceedings Issue) shipped today To: tug-board@tug.org, tub-prod@mimirh.csit.fsu.edu, office@tug.org, texhax@tex.ac.uk, tex-eds@nic.surfnet.nl, tug-pub@tug.org Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 15:43:12 -0400 (EDT) I'm glad to announce 160 pages were shipped to the printer today.
