[comp.text.tex] help needed on LaTeX problems

Hi,
My thesis is due in a week and I am struggling with two problems
while doing the LaTex. I would appreciate anyone emailing me
possible solutions (note: my level of understanding of LaTeX is
not too good!). Thanks.

Q 1: While citing a book (\cite command), I would like to specify
     the page number next to the reference number. e.g., 
     [21, pp 26-42], [21, p 78]. Is there any simple solution?

Q 2: I am using the \parbox{} command within \caption[]{} in fig
     or table environment to get a caption like

        Figure 4.6: This is an ................ example
                    to do something.
    However, the captions come out in double spacing (as in the
    text). I tried using \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{0.9}
    at the beginning inside the \parbox{} and reset it to 1.37
    at the end. But it doesn't seem to be working.
