\newpage not working

[Suvadip Paul]

In my document \newpage is not working. Figures are appended in the
same page. What can be the reason and what is the possible solution?
Please help me.

[Peter Flynn]

Please provide a minimal worked example showing the problem.
"Not working" is insufficient explanation.
I also don't understand "Figures are appended in the same page."
The normal command for a new page is \clearpage, not \newpage.

Actually I was trying to paste two figures in two pages with the following commands. But the \newpage command is not working (I have made it bold). Figures are gathering in one page. 

\newpage

\begin{figure}

\centering

\includegraphics[width=4.5in,height=2.0in]{ef.eps}

Figure 1: Schematic diagram of the system considered.

\end{figure}

\newpage

\begin{figure}

\centering

\includegraphics[width=3.5in,height=2.2in]{s3.eps}

\end{figure}

My hearer file is 

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\makeatletter

\parindent 0 pc

\oddsidemargin   -.2 in \evensidemargin   -.2 in \topmargin  -.4

in \textheight 23 cm \textwidth  18 cm \setlength{\parsep}{0.5ex

plus0.2ex minus0.1ex}

\newcommand{\singlespacing}{\let\CS=\@currsize\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}

{1.0}\tiny\CS}

\newcommand{\doublespacing}{\let\CS=\@currsize\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}

{1.5}\tiny\CS}

\newcommand {\tab} {\hspace*{2em}}

\newcommand {\lab} {\hspace*{1em}}

.................................

Please help me.

I don't understand "paste two figures in two pages".

Figures are floats: to control their placement you must use the proper placement indicator [p] after \begin{figure}. You cannot control figure placement with \newpage.
 

But the \newpage command is not working (I have made it bold). Figures are gathering in one page. 

\newpage

\begin{figure}

This is nonsense. Why do you not use \caption?

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}

This is also nonsense. Use the proper packages, please.
 

\makeatletter

\parindent 0 pc

Use the parskip package to set the indentation and paragraph space.
 

\oddsidemargin   -.2 in \evensidemargin   -.2 in \topmargin  -.4

Use the geometry package to set the size and shape of the page.
 

in \textheight 23 cm \textwidth  18 cm \setlength{\parsep}{0.5ex

plus0.2ex minus0.1ex}

\newcommand{\singlespacing}{\let\CS=\@currsize\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}

{1.0}\tiny\CS}

\newcommand{\doublespacing}{\let\CS=\@currsize\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}

{1.5}\tiny\CS}

Use the setspace package to set the linespacing.
 

\newcommand {\tab} {\hspace*{2em}}

\newcommand {\lab} {\hspace*{1em}}

What is this?
 

Please help me.

No. You must provide a minimal working example.
