equations oozing out from shrink-wrapping

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Gevene,

I used to see this occasionally with imported graphics, particularly EPS 
files in a cross-platform environment. The imported graphics would be 
shifted in the anchored frame. In some instances, they would be shifted so 
far to the left or top that it would appear that the graphic was missing. I 
never did find the reason, but I would use a FrameScript script to fix them.
