Ie master layout in 2 days

I must thank Internet to get insights into ie way of working. I am setting 0.5 inches margins.

To print accurately in ie, that is the most commonly used browser.

1. Use shrink to fit in page setup paper option.
2. Use landscape in page setup.
3. Set margin to 0.5 inches, similar to firefox default.
4. In printer preference, create a custom paper size. 90 mm widtd and 180 mm height.
5. In printer preference, set landscape too.
6. All elements eg date to print, set with reference to (0.5 inches, 0.5 inches) in front page. Use draw layout cell.
7. Insert layout table with width set to width of cheque - left margin and right margin. That is 15.2 cm. The height set to smaller than height - top margin - bottom margin. That is 6 cm.

In x ratio, 718 points = 15.2cm
Y ratio, 284 points = 6 cm
