Thanks. It place the figures side by side correctly. But, there is another problem.
After the two figures, it force a page break and leave a large blank even though
the blank area can accommodate the next paragraph. I attached the test file
and waht I really want is:
One column texts
two figures sidebyside
One column texts
Thanks.
