Problems with absolute positioning
I am trying to create a template document that will be used in a merge
operation. The merged data will be printed on a pre-printed form. To get all data on exactly the right spot, I use absolute positioning. However, absolute doesn't seem to be that absolute. When I enter 2.5 cm and option Page in the window Advanced Layout, the text box starts at about 3.7 cm. A text box that is printed lower on the page (at 25.5 cm) starts at 25.9 cm. Thus, the difference between the distance entered in the window Advanced Layout and the actual distance as measured on a printed document is not constant. A constant offset would have been acceptable, but this varying difference is a real nuisance. Can anyone explain this to me, and tell me what I should do to make real absolute positioning possible?
