Re: How to eliminate default .083" offset above placed grahics?

[Thomas Neuburger <thomasn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Note that shrink-wrap adds a one-point padding, not a zero-point padding 
(i.e., true shrink-wrap), around the graphic.

Probably not an issue here (one point is about .014"), but it's worth 
knowing if you use the frame border to provide a ruling box around screen art.

Cheers,

Tom Neuburger
