I have just started using TeXnicCenter in windows xp. I have done a pretty little diagram for my thesis in paint that I have saved as a jpeg and would now like to insert into my document. I am using graphicx and have finally got it to work using the following commands and compiling as pdf.
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics{c:/Documents and Settings/Lisa/Desktop/ma50176/picr.jpg}
\caption{diagram of simplified dialyser model}
\end{figure}
The picture comes out fine apart from 2 (fairly major) problems:
1) "and Settings/Lisa/Desktop/ma50176/picr.jpg" spookily appears just above it
2) the caption is miles away from the picture, leaving a gap of about half a page
I'm sure I am doing something really daft,
but any help would be massively appreciated. I tried lots of ways to insert the picture, even saving as a .eps file (which worked for other figures but not this particular one which is why I saved it as a jpg in the end.) I also tried saving the jpg in my main directory with my tex file and just calling up the file name, which I hoped would solve problem 1) but this didn't work either, i.e the picture didn't even insert at all!Thanks in advance,
Lisa
