Hi Girvin,

Then I tried using Draw in stand-alone mode (not as an embedded object)
to export the figure as a jpeg or png file and inserting that file into
the document.  I changed the Draw page margins to the 2" by 7.5" figure
in order to exclude all but the figure.  However, these export functions
only allow full page saves, not the small 2" high by 7.5" wide figure I
need.  When inserting the file into the document, I get a lot of white
space and my figure is tiny.
On this very problem, you'll notice that the export dialog has a
"Selection" checkbox in the lower left part.

To export a selected part of a drawing to some third-party format, which
is what you're looking for, do:

1. Select the drawing (part) you're willing to export. If you want the
whole drawing, then just Edit > Select all (Ctrl + A)

2. Open the Export dialog and tick the Selection checkbox.

And you're done! Your new image is now without any white space clutter.

Note: the "Selection" checkbox doesn't retain its state. You'll have to
check it again when exporting another drawing.

HTH,
Yes, it did.
Thanks.
Girvin
