I just tried this; a couple of observations/doubts: i set up two minipages of width 30, the figures overlap , so i add an \hfill ERT. this gets the figures a bit more separated; However the individual captions wrap too soon (each line of the individual minipage captions are less than 12 characters, hardly more than two words can stay in the same line). I try to improve the situation increasing the width of the minipages to 40, however now they are too big to be in the same line. I go back to width 30 and add an additional \hfill ERT, but again the graphic minipages are in different lines. How do you adjust these things to look like in the books? cheers ------------ Los mejores usados y las más tentadoras ofertas de 0km están en Yahoo! Autos.
