If you're using TeXLive 2008 (maybe with MiKTeX is the same), in your  
terminal or Command Prompt type

texdoc apacls<enter>

(the document is in

/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/doc/latex/apa/apacls.html ).

See especially, about the middle of the document, the section ``Float  
placement, loading, and content''.
