Oops, I realised that attachments are being deleted. Okay, here's the
LaTeX file. To run it, you need a file "apicture.pdf" which is any
figure object.

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{floatflt}

\begin{document}

This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some
text.  This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This
is some text.  This is some text. This is some text. This is some
text. This is some text.  This is some text. This is some text. This
is some text. This is some text.  This is some text. This is some
text. This is some text. This is some text.

Let's try for the next para.

\begin{floatingfigure}{0.5\textwidth}
  \includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{apicture.pdf}
  \caption{Quarterly GDP growth}
\end{floatingfigure}

This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some
text.  This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This
is some text.  This is some text. This is some text. This is some
text. This is some text.  This is some text. This is some text. This
is some text. This is some text.  This is some text. This is some
text. This is some text. This is some text.

Let's see what happens when a figure is placed with a particularly
short paragraph.

\begin{floatingfigure}{0.5\textwidth}
  \includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{apicture.pdf}
  \caption{Quarterly GDP growth}
\end{floatingfigure}

This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some
text.  This is some text. This is some text. This is some text.

This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some
text.  This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This
is some text.  This is some text. This is some text. This is some
text. This is some text.  This is some text. This is some text. This
is some text. This is some text.  This is some text. This is some
text. This is some text. This is some text.

Okay, now let's do a table.

\begin{floatingtable}{
    \begin{tabular}{lrr}
      \hline
      Value & 1992-93 & 2002-03 \\
      \hline
      Blah & x & y \\
      Blah & x & y \\
      Blah & x & y \\
      \hline
    \end{tabular}}
  \caption{A table}
\end{floatingtable}

This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some
text.  This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This
is some text.  This is some text. This is some text. This is some
text. This is some text.  This is some text. This is some text. This
is some text. This is some text.  This is some text. This is some
text. This is some text. This is some text.
