Hi, I have several small figures and want to place them in two columns as follows: ___________ __________ | | | | | | | | | Figure | | Figure | | | | | |__________| |__________| Fig 1. blabla Fig 2. blabla I tried use columns \startcolumns[n=2] \placefigure[here][fig:1]{blabla}{\externalfigure[fig1]} \columns \placefigure[here][fig:2]{blabla}{\externalfigure[fig2]} \stopcolumns It seems work depend on the pagebreak and not works all time. If there are a pagebreak before or after the block of these figures, it not works well. The \placesidebyside and use combinations will give one float Figure with the two pictures as subfigures. But what I want is two figure. thanks Wang
