[MiKTeX] Floating question

[Karl K. <The...@gm...>]

Hi there,

I have a question about MikTeX that bothers me for quite a while. I have the book template (but I am quite sure it is general enough so that it will also appear in other classes). When putting images or tables, LaTeX naturally floats those objects around. Sometimes an image lands on the next page, but in the original MikTeX code I obviously reserved a particular place - as shown in the following code example:

---------------------------
A typical system does this and that and some more of that and some more of this as shown in figure \ref{fig:pic2}.

\begin{figure}[ht!]
    \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[scale=0.25,angle=0]{pic2.jpg}
    \label{fig:pic2}
    \end{center}
\end{figure}

It is important to consider...
---------------------------

When the picture floats, MikTeX now produces something like that:

----------------------------
A typical system does this and that and some more of that and some more of this as shown in figure 3.2.
___It is important to consider...

----------------------------

Where ___ presents a small gap to signal the next paragraph. My question now: How can I make it look like the following:

---------------------------
A typical system does this and that and some more of that and some more of this as shown in figure 3.2.

---------------------------

without gap that basically hides the fact that something has not been put there but rather on the next page (which is not a problem).

Best Regards,
Karl
