Have you looked into using AuthorTools and BilateralCell? You can put text in one half of the cell and a graphic in the other. For an example, have a look at this year's Vermont High School Prize Examination, which was typeset entirely in Mathematic (and converted to a PDF for posting on the web). http://www.cems.uvm.edu/~kost/web06/test_06.nb.pdf The questions that include graphics were all done as bilateral cells. An easy way to make bilateral cells is with the OpenAuthorTools palette. -- Helen Read University of Vermont
