tables and graphics and rtf...

[Norman Walsh <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello world,

Has anyone else figured this out. If you try a simple document,
like the one below, you get a table with a graphic in it, but
the top of the graphic is "cut off" by the top of the table row.

I fiddled with line-spacing and min-leading everywhere that seemed
relevant, but had no luck.

Then I put a huge line-spacing on the table-row, just to see if
that would do it. To my surprise, the text in the cells appeared
at the bottom with loads of head-room, but the graphic remained
stuck at the top of the cell, cut off again.

Anyone cracked this nut? Is there a way to make this work?
