Default Labels--Is it Me?

Is there a way to get Word to actually match up exactly with the various
labels? It seems that every label I try in Envelopes & labels (Word 2003
but I had the same problem in earlier versions) gets progressively further
"off" the further down the label page I go. For 8.5 x 11 sheets with, say,
80 return address labels (20 rows of 0.5" labels), a text entry is well
positioned in the first row but runs off the label by the 20th! At the
moment I am using a small file label (Avery 5202)(7 file labels, page size
is 4 x 6), and I am even using an Avery template (there is no such label
size in Word). The problem is that the template gives the label size
(height) as 0.67 inches whereas the true size is more like 0.645. But Word
does not seem to let me set a label measurement to 3 decimal places. The
margin of error between 0.64 (a little too small) and 0.65 (a shade
oversize) is slight with only 7 rows and I can live with it. But the
difference gets magnified with a larger sheet and small labels. Am I doing
something wrong? Did I miss something in Word 101? I doubt that it is a
printer problem. I had this trouble with my old one and our various laser
printers in the office do exactly the same..
