About ``facing pages'' for figures ou table, you shouls have a look to the
``dpfloat'' package by Jim Fox ([log in to unmask]) available at the
following URL: http://staff.washington.edu/~fox
It is nice and rather easy to use (while the document leves some room to
the floats for moving). I can give the package and its doc (a french
version is available for you, Thierry).

Regards,

Jean-Pierre

A bird cannot land once on a great tree and claim to know it.
But I imagine that he would, yes.
