General ⇒ Generating files with many picutures

[death7]

Morning all!

I am a LaTex novice and did come across problems when I want to generate something like a user manual with LaTex, in which many many pictures should be included. After each of the picture only a short comment of one or two sentences is written and then comes the next picture.
the problem is, the pictures are treated as "float" in latex, so if there are many pictures with only few texts, it happens all the time that in the generated file latex put all the short texts together first and then all the pictures together. As a result, if I want to realise the format of one picture, one comment, one picture, one comment... I have to adjust the size of every picture again and again after generating the file again and again. really a waste of time, and the result is still not so satisfactory.
is there any guys out there who has more experience in handling such problems?
by the way, I use package{graphicx} and all the pictures are in format of JPG and also tried some methods like using the palcement [htb!]
Thank you in advance^^

Section 21 in Using Imported Graphics in LaTeX and pdfLaTeX describes how you can get non-floating figures in LaTeX. You will find there many other valuable suggestions as well.
