Alignment of graphic and text elements in a table format

Hi Framers:
I am running FM8p177 on Vista Prof and we are all becoming best of friends.
This is an unstructured document problem, namely I am using a table format, 
no headings, two columns and two rows as a stable placeholder for a long 
sequence of graphic images, each with a dedicated text.


However, the anchored frame in col. 2 of the table inserts an extra line 
above itself while the embedded text in column one does not. My clunky 
workaround is to insert a carriage return or <HRT> above the text which 
lines up the graphic and text OK, but the result is far too much space above 
the resulting output, i.e. page AND table. I have tried adjusting the "above 
PGF", but this does not seem to be respected in FM table format. "Cell 
margins" does not seem to work either since they apply to the whole table. 
Is there a baseline solution here?



 My added <hrt>  |   Unwanted line
Text element        |  Graphic element




Season's greetings to all
Rob Shell
