Are you implying that the environments
\begin{window} . . . \end{window} or \begin{figwindow} . . . \end{figwindow}
actually work in your set up?
Is it necessary to include \usepackage{floatflt}?
I have tried to use the two examples in The LaTeX Companion, pages 108–109, but no luck. Despite the examples, I am not sure of the required format for either \begin{window} or \begin{figwindow}. Here is a short version that I tried
\begin{figwindow}
[2, l, \tikz \draw (0,0) circle (3 pt); , {Run around Circle} ]
At least six lines of text that is supposed to flow around the small circle. Circle to be at the left margin.
\end{figwindow}
The error message is:
================
./LaTeXbookShort.tex:662: Use of \figwindow doesn't match its definition.
l.662 \begin{figwindow}
?
==================
I tried adding the line \usepackage{floatflt} to the preamble but that did not help. I removed the caption {Run around Circle} and that made no difference.
Can anyone point out the syntax error?
