Re: Figure troubles

[Mark Christiaens]

Yes!  That seems to do the trick just nicely.  I do find it strange that
you put the @OneRow inside the @Figure instead of around it since I always
thought that the shadow box was put around the content of the @Figure and
would therefore not be included in the @OneRow body.

Anyway, thanks, now I can continue writing,

Mark
