Hello

I used \placefigure just for centering the figure. And even if I put \startcombination directly, won't it reserve blank space for empty subcaptions?

Actually, I found nice snipped that works like a charm for my needs:

\hbox to \hsize{
\externalfigure[serg1][width=3.5cm]
\hss\externalfigure[serg2][width=3.5cm]
\hss\externalfigure[serg4][width=3.5cm]
\hss\externalfigure[serg3][width=3.5cm]}

...and no combinations needed! ))

I'm not sure I understand your problem. If you don't want a caption  
and don't want the figure to float, why do you use \placefigure at  
all? Just remove the wrapper and put \startcombination etc. directly  
into your source file.
