I'm using the IEEE format latex files from here:
http://mocha-java.uccs.edu/ieee/
I have the following code:

For some reason the table is overlapping the text directly after it, I've posted a picture here:
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0BxtHMBPFxja0OTU4MTViNzItMjQ4ZS00MTgwLWE5OTktMWY3NGJkZjU1ZDQy&hl=en&authkey=CN_7j70D
I've tried wrapping it in a
\begin{table}
...table here...
\end{table}
but I get errors doing that
This is going to drive me crazy, trying \\ or \newpage or something to get it on it's own isn't helping.
EDIT: Clarified overlapping problem.
EDIT2: Here is a minimal example

\PARstart The GENSO network will consist of a MCC, GSS and AUS. Each satellite communicates with an individual MCC which acts as a server. All data and voice transmissions for the given satellite are downloaded by different GSS's throughout the world and routed to the correct MCC where it is retained for later dissemination. [...]

The other ieee
class is from the site I linked initially at the top.
Best Answer
This seems to be a bug in the
ieee
class. Adding an empty box after thecenter
environment solves the problem.
