There are two things you have to deal with:

  - The default cell margins (in the Table Designer) need to be set
    to 0. I presume you have already defined a table that does this.

  - Get rid of the space around the graphic by using Shrinkwrap on
    the anchored frame. If you're using MacOS, I posted an AppleScript
    yesterday that could be easily modified to do the job. I'm sure
    you could do the same thing with Framescript.

    You'll also have to set the anchored frame's position to "Run
    Into Paragraph" to eliminate space between the bottom of the
    graphic & the bottom of the cell.

Hope this helps!
