Scott:

I'm afraid I can't give you a usably precise answer.

The original problem manifested itself in a co-worker's initial attempts to "play with" the DITA interface and topics. He wasn't paying especial attention to DITA structure; but then again I couldn't see anything obvious he was doing.

When I began, I used the DITA 1.1 Language Reference to guide me through the importation and "structured packaging" of the same image. I also knew a bit more about handling Anchored Frames than my co-worker and so could poke at them a bit more.

For whatever reason, I was able to import both my co-workers PNG and a separately created SVG (via Inkscape) of a circle into my topic file without encountering the "squashing" problem.

At that point, time constraints just impelled me ever-forward (so many FM8 DITA questions, so little time)...

Cheers & sorry I can't be more helpful,
Riley
