Thanks for the hint. I tried again with your suggestion that I might have missed initially. Unfortunately, I am getting the same result - one image overlapping the other image. So I thought of pasting the source below for you so that it becomes more transparent of what I might have missed in the process.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// % Preview source code for paragraph 17 \begin{figure} \begin{minipage}[t]{0.45\textwidth}% \begin{center} \includegraphics[scale=0.1]{images/ReferenceSinteredModel} \par\end{center} \protect\caption{Reference Sintered Model} % \end{minipage}% \begin{minipage}[t]{0.45\textwidth}% \begin{center} \includegraphics[scale=0.1]{images/OriginalSinteredModel} \par\end{center} \protect\caption{Original Sintered Model} % \end{minipage} \end{figure} /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// You may have noted that , horizontal fill is not visible in the source. Do they show up ? I am inserting the horizontal fill between the two minipages, but the insertion is not showing up in the source. Waiting for more feed-back over this issue.
