This is exactly what I wanted to find yesterday. Why didn’t Google find it for me then? I happened across it when looking at this post on side-by-side tables.

Instead of just using begin{table}[ht] or some such to make the table (or figure) go here or at the top (I read yesterday that it’s a myth that there is any sort of order of preference in this declaration, but I don’t recall where and don’t know if it’s true), you put an exclamation mark in it, thus: begin{table}[h!t], which apparently makes Latex try harder to put it where you want.

Tell the world about this!
