Re: Wrapped figure
Unfortunately, wrapfig in latex works very poorly. Even when letting wrapped figures float, they are often placed unfortunate. What I do is in the final version of a document, I manually move wrapped figures around, reduce spaces etc. so that it looks right. This is of course against the latex philosophy.

Tweaking the placement manually is probably the way to go then. Another space-saving trick is to put two (or more) narrow figures side-by-side inside the same float. If you need them to have separate captions (for referencing), start by putting two 50% minipages in the float. Then put one image in each minipage, and also one caption in each. (And if you want 3 figures side by side, use 3 minipages with 33% width.) This way, you can have more narrow figures per page - closer to the text that describes them. Helge Hafting
