Sorry for the newbie question but the few faq entries I can find don't seem to help. I'm on OS X 6.4, editing in Aquamacs 2.1 with the XeTeX TeXing option set, I'm using MacTeXLive 2009 and mostly loving it.
I think these are the relevant excerptions from the file I'm learning with:- \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{figure}[htp] \centering \includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{../Pictures/DJMk2/swing 3.jpg} \caption{DJ Don't be more silly} \end{figure} It does not give any errors, yet prints a few lines of stuff above the correct picture "swing 3.jpg" like 3.jpg 3.jpg.pdf 3.jpg.eps....3.bb as though it is confused about whether I asked for another file whose name starts with 3.jpg as well as the one I really wanted (and got) "swing 3.jpg". Without the space in the file name (and the filename itself changed to "swing3.jpg") all that stuff above it goes away. I tried untold ways of escaping the space, the whole filename, the whole pathname, mostly getting a file not found error. I followed a faq that suggested that \XeTeXpicfile was inferior to \includegraphics after failing to find an escaping method for its very loose looking syntax and ultra-terse doco in XeTeX-notes.pdf I found a package called grffile whose doco (item 139 in newfaq.pdf) suggested an option [space] that looked promising but I have given up trying to make it work and throw myself at your mercy. tia Elliott Roper -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
