Hello,

I have a rather large table (say a box of height \vsize) which I want to show  
up *IN THE RUNNING TEXT* (and *not* on a separate page at the end). When I  
twiddle with 
\def\topfraction{1.01}
\def\textfraction{-0.09}
LaTeX places the float (table) on a page in the running text, but it INSISTS  
on also placing at least ONE LINE OF TEXT on the same page. Not only does  
this look ugly, but my table sticks out on the bottom end and so this one  
line of text overprints part of the table which can not be tolerated.

Can anyone help and tell me what to do to get rid of this one last line of  
text on my page with the table (which should ideally only have the table  
(float), but appear in the running text)? 

Please e-mail if possible, and
THANKS A LOT!!
