I want to include a table right after a paragraph. I placed it after the text, but it gets moved down between the references and the appendix. I tried to force the position using h! or H, but nothing worked. I noticed when I made another table it got moved down too but on another otherwise black page too. What could be the problem here?

\documentclass[man]{apa7}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage[style=apa,sortcites=true,sorting=nyt,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\usepackage{amsmath} 
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{float}


See table \ref{task}


\begin{table}[H]
\caption{\textit{Attribution of points}}
\begin{tabular}{lcc}
\hline
                              & A & B \ \hline
1 & one point         & no point               \
2 & no point          & one point              \ \hline
\end{tabular}
\label{task}
\end{table}

  • I suspect that there's not enough room left on the page to insert the table. Since you specified [H], you have forced it to be deferred until the end of the document. Take a look at How to influence the position of float environments like figure and table in LaTeX? to learn how to handle the placement. – barbara beeton Aug 26 '23 at 14:50
  • thanks for the reply! That does not seem to cause the problem though. No matter where I place the table in the code, it always ends up under the references. When I remove or change the [H] to something else, like [h!], nothing changes. When I change the documentclass to {article], it will be placed correctly, is it therefore a problem caused by that? – TexLatrina Aug 26 '23 at 16:28
  • I'm not familiar with apa7, but suspect the page size is different from that of article. Also, specifying only any "here" location guarantees that the float will be held to the end if there isn't enough room "here". You really need to rethink. – barbara beeton Aug 26 '23 at 17:51
