Writing technical papers and so on, I often need to be able to force figures
to float to the {top,bottom} of the next available page.  There does not seem
to be any way to do this in Word 3.0... the only way I've been able to do
this is to choose the LaserWriter, then do a Page Preview, and laboriously
reposition figures one at a time.  Plus I can't break a paragraph manually,
so I have only rough control over the placement.

Has anyone been able to come up with a reasonable way to do this?  I realize
that it's breaking some interpretations of WYSIWYG to float figures, but it
is necessary!
