Yeah, it's hard to believe! But, I called the company that prints the forms this morning and they confirmed the form length is 7 1/3".

How and why they ended up with that size? No one seems to know.

Anyway, the client is going to dump all the remaining to the local recycle effort and re-order at 7.25" They agree their employees time/frustration is worth the cost.

I've been developing custom forms for at least 20 years and I usually determine the size requirements. This is the first and last time I let the customer do it without my advance approval. :)



>Dale,
>It is hard to imagine that the forms are actually 7 1/3 inches long. Have you tried to measure the form (or mesure 10 forms and divide by 10)? You might find out that 3 decimals is accurate enough.
