Cropping numbers ... like a picture doesn't change it at all you just adjust the "frame" in this case a page around it. A typical 3 digit number in Arial 14 would be 20,15 in size you right or left justify it depending on the end you want to cut off. Place it in a page of smaller size
<page name"example" size="15,15">
<text name="sample"
textalignment="right"
textverticalalignment="top">123</text>
</page>
This would in most cases cut off the trailing digit. Purely cosmetic but with overlapping you can create the illusion of the XP decilmal point XXX.X
