why does access not let me adjust page margins?

[bfellows]

i have several reports that need to be printed on 3.5"x1" labels for production on the factory floor. i've set up a new form size in the printer driver as the correct size for the labels, and set the top margin to 0.0in, the left to .25in, the right and bottom to 0.0in. again i did that in the printer driver.

when i go to -file->page setup- in access the top margin is set at .627in and if i try to adjust it to 0.05 (i need to adjust it to that so the next label lines up correctly), when i hit tab to go to the next margin field, it changes itself to .622in automagically.

i know this doesn't have anything to do with the autocorrect bug, as i've turned that off, and i can't even get the top margin setting to stick while i'm still in the page setup dialog.

perhaps i don't have somethign set up correctly elsewhere. can anybody help me solve this problem?
