Richard,
This may be an effect of the printer's minimum margins affecting your
output. Try reducing the height of your rectangle, and consider
making its
border invisible unless you want some paper-cutting challenges.
The whole purpose of the rectangle is to produce printed trim lines
to make it easy to cut the sheets into equal-sized cards, so I'm
reluctant to part with it.
THEN, unless these are actually tent-style flashcards, look at the
question
of getting the back side of the card to align properly and contain the
"answer" from the appropriate front-side record's "question".
I just used the "brute force" method. On the way to the card-front
layout, I use a "replace" command to insert serial numbers into the
"Front Sorter" field. The "Back Sorter" field is a byproduct
calculation, equal to "Front Sorter" if odd, equal to "Front Sorter"
minus 1.5 if even. Then I sort by "Back Sorter" on the way to the
layout for the backs of the cards.
I still have to warn the users to "reshuffle the deck" from the card-
front output so the sheets themselves will be in proper sequence for
printing the backs, but the left-right shift isn't a problem.
