+
+it doesn't seem at all obvious to me; you asked for a floating figure
+not for a "picture".
+
+unless you need a caption, there's absolutely no sense in using a
+figure environment. try
+
+\begin{abstract}
+ \begin{center}
+ \includegraphics[scale=3]{picture.eps}
+ \end{center}
+\end{abstract}
+
+or the like.
+
+further points:
+
+-- never use the center environment in figures, as you have done -- it
+introduces unwanted extra vertical space. say \centering instead.
+(note this doesn't work with "legacy" graphics packages, but graphics/
+graphicx -- which you're using -- are fine.)
+
+-- you _can_ get captions outside of figures, even. see the ccaption
+package, or the (trivially simple) capt-of package.

+Does anyone know if there is any Optical Character Recognition
+software (preferably for Windows 95, but Linux is another possibility)
+that can read mathematics and convert it to (reasonably accurate) LaTeX?

+
+Hi! I was wondering if any of you knew how to include brackets [] in the
+caption of threeparttable. When I include these, I get an additional bracket
+and a dot at the beginning of my caption like this:
+
+ Table 4.2: .
+ ]Summary of blah blah blah Doe [1991].
+
+Any help?
+
+Thanks, Michelle

+\title{Call for Contributions for Euro\TeX~2001}
+\date{21 March 2001}
+\author{The Program Committee}
+\maketitle
+
+The Euro\TeX\ conference 2001 will take place from September 23rd to
+September 27th in the Netherlands. The conference will be held in an
+old abbey, Rolduc, near the city of Kerkrade.
+
+Participants will be welcomed on Sunday evening the 23rd of September.
+The conference proper will start on Monday and continue until
+Wednesday. On Thursday courses and tutorials may be given.
+
+The theme of the conference is:=20
+\begin{center}
+ \TeX\ and Meta\\
+ the Good, the Bad and the Ugly Bits
+\end{center}
+
+So, what are "Good, Bad and Ugly Bits"? Traditionally we tend to focus
+on Good Bits because they are so rewarding. It feels good to see a
+beautifully typeset document that you were able to produce using all
+the power that \TeX\ and Metafont/MetaPost provide. We try to forget
+how many Bad Bits we had to overcome, and are proud that we found more
+or less elegant ways to program around them. Nevertheless, some of
+these difficulties should be regarded as Ugly Bits that would not
+exist in an ideal world.
+
+What can we do?=20
+
+First of all, keep up the Good Bits and extend them if possible.
+Analyze the Bad Bits, learn from them, and find easy and generic ways
+to get around them. Find the Ugly Bits and eradicate them!
+
+Let's make progress! Of course we need a lot of discussion to
+distinguish between Good, Bad and Ugly, and about ways to deal with
+them. We invite you all to demonstrate either of these bits. Feel free
+to present your application (Good, not Bad or Ugly) at the conference!
+
+At this conference we would like to take a new view on contributions.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Of course we welcome a presentation accompanied by a written
+paper, as usual.
+\item But does it bother you to write a paper, or does your
+contribution seem fit for an interesting presentation but not for a
+written paper? We will welcome the presentation equally much, and do
+with only a short summary on paper or even entirely without the paper
+work.
+\item Or do you find yourself in the opposite situation: You would
+like to clarify your new package or other work extensively on paper
+but believe that it would be unsuitable to cover it equally
+extensively in an oral presentation? Feel free to let us have your
+paper and at the conference present only the highlights.
+\item Or do you believe your ideas only warrant a short presentation
+without a paper? It is equally welcome.
+\end{itemize}
+
+We do expect from each contributor a \emph{short summary} of the
+proposed contribution. This summary will inform the Program Committee
+of your plan. And at the conference it will be the introduction to
+your contribution, or your complete contribution if that is what you
+propose.
+
+We invite you to submit your proposal for a contribution to the
+conference. You can send it by email to \euromail.
+If you have no access to e-mail you can send your contribution to:
+\begin{flushleft}
+ Euro\TeX\ 2001 program committee\\
+ Spuiboulevard 269\\
+ 3311 GP Dordrecht\\
+ The Netherlands.
+\end{flushleft}
+In such a case we would ask you to submit your paper in electronic
+form on a floppy disk.
+
+We are working with the following time schedule:
+
+\begin{center}
+ \begin{tabular}{ll}
+ may 10 & deadline for receiving proposals\\
+ june 10 & deadline for receiving full draft papers\\
+ july 11 & end of review\\
+ august 11 & deadline for receiving final, reviewed papers\\
+ \end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+
+An up-to-date list of contributions as well as more information about
+the conference can be found at \euroweb.
