Hi Bruce, There are a couple of ways to solve this problem. The first is to crop white space and ensure that the two figures are as close to the same dimensions as possible. Once you've done that, you can also modify the baseline alignment. This is done by fiddling with the alignment options of the minipages (right click and then select "settings"). It requires some experimentation, but you you can usually find a setting that will minimize differences. I've personally had good luck with aligning content to "middle", but as I said, you'll need to experiment to satisfy your aesthetic muse. Cheers, Rob
