I have some figures and would like to add them on the left with a corresponding text on the right, with letters indicating the order, like the following image.enter image description here

  • Welcome to Tex.SX! What have you tried so far? Please add a minimal working example (MWE) showing your current setup. – epR8GaYuh Jul 22 '20 at 11:37
  • You can achive this kind of layout in a lot of different ways. Please clarify: Should the letters on the left be auto-generated? Do the images and texts all fit onto a single page or do you need pagebreaks between them? – leandriis Jul 22 '20 at 11:42

This is one way of doing it using a tabular.

% figtextprob.tex  SE 554582
%\documentclass{memoir} % or the article/report/book class with tabularx
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{graphicx} % for including graphical images
\usepackage{mwe}      % provides some sample images

\begin{document}


\begin{tabular}{m{0.5cm}m{0.2\textwidth}m{0.7\textwidth}}
(H) & \includegraphics[width=0.2\textwidth]{example-image-a} & His colleague
  asks him, ``Why are you so cold?'' \
\end{tabular}


\begin{tabular}{m{0.5cm}m{0.2\textwidth}m{0.7\textwidth}}
(I) & \includegraphics[width=0.2\textwidth]{example-image-b} & Bill replies,
  ``I forgot my coat, and it started snowing while I was walking to work!'' \
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

If you use the memoir class (a superset of the book, report and article classes) you don't need the tabularx package.

If everything will fit on one page then put all the entries into a single tabular otherwise one entry per tabular so that page breaks can be done automatically.

Adjust the lengths as appropriate for your document.

If you want more information on the tabular settings read Chapter 11 Rows and columns in the memoir manual (> texdoc memnoir).

  • thank you very much for your help – lulu mirzai Jul 24 '20 at 07:20
  • Why do you load the tabularx package in this specific MWE? You don't seem to need it since there is no tabularx environment in your code. – leandriis Jul 24 '20 at 10:04
  • @leandris If I don't load tabularx then I get an error message "Illegal character in array arg." followed by l.9 ...}{m{0.5cm}m{ which continues on but I can't be bothered to type it all in. – Peter Wilson Jul 24 '20 at 17:49
