yes, thanx, i know - this is where it starts to get messy, because 
forcing figures does not always result in something indended because 
of boxes and boundaries. if at the place you force it to be it is 
suboptimal, latex will refuse to put it there and will mess up the 
current page trying to do so. i can dig out some old experiments, if 
you need illustrative proof.

this is actually the way i think i should do - like in publication 
papers, simply group figures belonging together to subfigures and 
don't care about "word processing" at all.

i don't have done much with subfigures for now. some years ago, i 
learned about them here
http://www.hep.man.ac.uk/u/jenny/jcwdocs/latex/figures.html
but never played with subfigures. has anybody here experience with 
them? especially are they indexed like normal figures or do i need to 
tinker to make it go into the figures list?

Eric, thanx for the confirmation about the direction to go - i was 
thinking about this way, and your suggestion shows that it seems a 
way that works.

greetings,
damir
