--- Comment #2 from David Chamberlin <[email protected]> ---
This is issue on 5.2 as well, but may have not been fixed for 5.3, the Vertical
Pitch only allows granularity of 1/100 of an inch.
This results in an error in alignment on Avery form 5266 in addition to the
form vertical pitch being incorrect at 0.68. Avery form 5266 is 1/2" top and
bottom margin and 10" of 15 labels at 0.666667 per label. With vertical pitch
set at 0.67 it results in a shift of 0.05" at the end of the sheet, or about
3.6 pts. If using 0.66 it results in a negative shift of 0.10" at the end of
the sheet, or about 7.2 pts. The default for the label is being set to 0.68"
vertical pitch, so this results in a 0.15" shift, or about 10.8 pts. That's a
10 pt line shift by the end of the page, and unacceptable. Even the 3.6 pts.
error in rounding is unacceptable for label or form work.
If the vertical pitch is revised to have a higher precision, then the resulting
positions that are used for the frames being at 1/100" would only be off for 2
out of 3 labels, since 3 x 0.666667" would be 2.0000". But better to increase
precision on the frame's vertical position as well. 1/1000" would reduce the
amount of rounding error, and accommodate for denominators of 8 (i.e. 0.125).
Sample document, please just do File/New/Labels and select Avery (US) and Label
sheet 5266.
