[Tugindia] Tables clinged to the top of the page

[kvmadhav]

Hi, 
do this

\begin{table}[h]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{H}

 \end{tabular}
 \caption{my table}
 \end{center}
 \end{table}

second,

i found a better way to create table. If you are using Linux, you can
do your tables in gnumeric and save the file as a tex file. instead of
\begin{tabular}...say \input{filename.tex}[H]

then 
\caption{xyz}
\end{center}
\end{table}

simple isnt it.

note: remember to use [H] at end of input line other wise any input
objects are floating objects, latex will place them elsewhere. [H}
will force latex to place table at exactly the spot you wanted it.
secondly, this can be used for pictures, figures etc..
