Please edit your post using the formatting tools provided at the top of the posting area. Also, please delete the enormous code blocks that you have posted. I would like to read this post and understand your question but as it currently appears it is incomprehensible.

Further to my previous post here is a revised example.nb with a typographical error (nlm5 should have been nlm1) corrected!

Dear respondents,

Thank you all for replying to my query and to the moderators for editing my post. I apologise for the form of the initial posting, which was appropriate to the text only Mathgroup forum to which I last posted some time ago. As a result of suggestions by David Park I have worked out a solution to my problem using Epilog and Prolog. I don't thinikk it is a great solution, due to my lack of expertise in all the options of the commands.

I am attaching a notebook that shows more clearly (with all of the commands and output) the problem I was referring to and a rough solution to it. I am still unsure of the best solution for preparing figures for publication, which often have to be resized or modified during the publication process. Most journals don't have access to Mathematica, so I assume figures have to be converted to .pdf or other formats. If there is a guide to figure preparation out there somewhere, that takes account of the fact that not everyone has Ma, I would be pleased to hear about it.

Dear David and other respondents,

My apologies if I have posted in a non-readable format. I am obviously out of date with using the forum. The last time I posted it was to Mathgroup and it was the practice to copy only text from cells that could then be cut and pasted into Mathematica by respondents. No attachments or images were allowed.

As a result of helpful feedback from yourself and the forum organisers I have found the community posting instructions and tools. These look great! I will edit and repost my question in a better format in the next few days. I gather that editing the post will cause the posting history to be lost, but result in a better consultable resource for the Ma community.

You could use the Epilog option to add Text statements to each plot. Maybe that will be sufficient to do the job.

My Presentations application coverts most "Plot" statements to "Draw" statements making it easier and more natural to combine graphics primitives with the various curves and surfaces. But Epilog should do it.
