Re: Using OmniGraffle to Fill Out a Form

Hmm, I've never run into that.

But, if you copy/paste the rectangle from the attached file into your  
file, does it also include the image?  (That could shed light onto the  
root of the problem, or at least maybe give you a "clean" rectangle to  
work with...)
