I know the actual sheet is 5x7.  It measures 1.625 or (1 5/8) by 1.125 or (1 1/8) in the picture.  The writable area is 5/16\" from the top of the page and 7/16\" from the bottom. Using these measurements, how do I convert them to the standard 5x7 card?  I know <BR>\n" );
document.write( "5\" = 1.125\" and 7\" = 1.625\" so what is (5/16\") or .3125\" and (7/16\") or .4375\"??? I know this is probably an easy equation and I know I learned it in 9th grade algebra, but that's been a LONG time ago.   Thanks for your attention and time.   </SPAN>\n" );
