Image Over-running Cell Bounds

Post by jorsborn »

I have a table with column A being a graphic and column B being a description of the graphic. The table appears as I want except for two things:
  • The image over-runs the horizontal line at the top of the cell.
  • The image is not centered horizontally.
Any thoughts?

Code: Select all

\begin{tabular}{ | m{.2\textwidth} | m{.8\textwidth} | }
\hline
\includegraphics[height=0.75in,width=0.75in]{HighVoltageWarning.eps} & \bf{This symbol indicates the presence of electrically live parts which may be dangerous or lethal if contact is made.} \\
\hline
\includegraphics[height=0.75in,width=0.75in]{Warning.eps} & \bf{This symbol serves as a general warning. Failure to observe the instructions associated with it can result in permanent damage to the unit or undesirable operation.} \\
\hline
\includegraphics[height=0.75in,width=0.75in]{HotSurface.eps} & \bf{This symbol indicates the presence of a hot surface which can inflict severe burns.} \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
