Description skelem 2004-10-07 21:27:32 UTC 
In Writer, do:
File>New>Labels
Choose Brand "Avery Letter Size", Type "8460 Ink Jet Address"
Click on the Format tab.
(10 of these labels measure 10+1/32 inch instead of just 10 inches. The label
contents print higher and higher on the label for each successive row of lables.)
To correct this, I need to set the vertical pitch and Height to
(10+1/32)/10=1.003125.  When I try to change the entry '1.00"' to 1.003", it is
"autocorrected" to 1.00".

Don't autocorrect so that precision is lost!  If you can't keep a full floating
point word of precision (I don't see why you can't.), then keep 4 decimal
digits-not just two.

It makes almost no difference on one label.  However, when you have 10 of them
on a page, the cumulative error makes a difference of whether the last label
prints properly.  (It doesn't.  It looks bad.  We want something that looks
better than on Microsoft, not worse.)

Thanks,
Steve

512MB RAM machine.
