Most scientists, esp. Computer Science researchers and Mathematicians, love Latex for typesetting. However, many students, and in some cases established researchers, miss few tricks of Latex especially when it comes to embedding images, figures and tables. One common problem is the placement of figures and tables. You can use the option [htbp] just after beginning a figure or a table environment to manage placement.
Most people would be using new version of Latex and likely under Windows. It is sometimes known as PDFLatex. In this case use jpeg file formats for images. If you are using graphicx package you need to use the option [jepg] in declaration to tell the package to deal with images as jepg and not eps.
Few tricks that solve problems and make life far easier for Latex users.

I tend to use png images, they are quite well supported. [jepg] should be [jpeg] I guess. Never needed to define this however. However I still have trouble with referencing web sites / web documents.
