The following code does almost what I want. It changes
the reference, in the text, from 1a) to 1a and 2a) to 2a etc.
The problem is at the subfigure. This code puts 1a and 2a.
I would rather have just a. I realize this may be easy to
fix for some. But, the ending 4 lines are greek to me.
thanks,
henry

Try this one instead:
Unfortunately you did not provide a sample document (just a code snipped instead), and furthermore you did not even told us which package or document class you use to typeset your sub-figures, so the above code snipped of mine is just an untested guess, not more.
Code: Select all
