- tomjen3 6y agoMy guess is that people struggle more with Image placement in LaTeX by a huge margin. It is typically because they have the wrong mental model of how image placement should work. Floats are floating for a reason.
- rualca 6y ago> My guess is that people struggle more with Image placement in LaTeX by a huge margin. You should guess again. With LaTeX the biggest problem with images is seeig them reflow in a place you wasn't expecting because you did not paid attention to what you actually did. With Word, you even have to fight it to not put images and their image captions on separate pages. More importantly, with LaTeX the worst you get with images is them looking nice and neat in some other part of the text, maybe at the end of a section or with a single paragraph between them. With Word it's on par for the course to get your whole doc screwed up just because the image reflowed to the next page.
- gamblor956 6y agoWith Word, you even have to fight it to not put images and their image captions on separate pages. You keep saying this, and this has simply not been true since Word 2007. You keep captions on the same page as their respective pictures using the same method you keep all lines of a paragraph on the same page: Keep with Next in Paragraph options. If a caption (or picture) still flows onto the next page, that is because it simply won't fit into the page without resizing the picture or changing the page margins.
- tapia 6y agoI disagree. This still happens today. I am a latex user but occasionally have to work in a word document and these kind of problems keep occurring.
