     My previous reply may have an error in it: the part about Position 
and Size. If a figure is a drawing of some type, you need to know its 
dimensions. Then you can select the size of the frame to match its size. 
If the figure is a graphics file, you can insert it into the frame. Then 
right click it. Select Picture from the context menu. When the Picture 
dialog opens, click the Original Size button. The the Height and Width 
boxes reveals what the original size is. Then change the size of the 
frame to match.
