[MiKTeX] learner, please help

[Mesar H. <for...@ho...>]

Hi folks,

I am thinking of type setting a user manual in latex, before I start, I
would like to have some guidance please.

I was thinking of having some small screen shotss side by side instead of
the usual underneath each other. The images will be the same size, so ...

Is there a way to force a graphic to stay where I want it. I mean, I have
calculated the required space, and the amount of space left on the page.


Another thing, am I correct in saying that longtables are not floats?

What are the advantages of using a longtable supose to a table, I know that
a longtable can split over several pages, but is that the only diffrence?


I would like to have some of the borders of a table to be larger, for
example

\begin{longtable}{|p{2cm}|p{5cm}|p{10cm}|}
\hline
...\\
...\\
...\\
\hline
\end{longtable}


I want the borderline around the first coloumn to be thicker than the lines
in the other two coloumns.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please include examples, if it is possible


Best regards

Mesar Hameed
