I have a large graphic I was cutting up for the web. Size, of course was very important so everything would line up correctly once it was put in a table. One section was a plain 100x25pix rectangle with text which would become a link. I was playing around with the text for different ideas on an "over" state. I put a glow shadow on the text, drew a bounding box around it all and had a size of 100x25pix. When I exported it however it exported at 100x28pix. I went back to my original and again did a bounding box, then grouped it and lo and behold I know had a size of 100x27.8 pix. I reduced the shadow size, tried again and exported, correctly sized, without difficulty.

So, I have to assume that even though the bounding box was large enough, it didn't pick up the size of the shadow. I had to group it to get a correct size. Is this normal? I often use the bounding box to check on size and hate to think it isn't reliable. Or maybe there is another explanation?

BTW, I love XaraX and am having a great time "playing" with it.
