The wonderful 'endfloat' LaTeX package

With LaTeX (or LyX), one can work on a manuscript while placing the tables and figures in their natural places, and then, with the addition of a single line to the preamble:

\usepackage[nolists,tablesfirst]{endfloat}

the tables and figures are magically moved to the end, as is required at submission by many journals.  

The 'endfloat' package even inserts markers like "[Table 1 about here]" in the main text.

Now I just need to persuade my colleagues to start writing their manuscripts in LaTeX...
