RE: GEMS 1.16.1 horizontal/vertical box shifting

["Ken Clark" <ken@dieboldes.com>]

In GEMS 1.16.1, entering a value in the Horiz Shift Box field under the Oval/Box tab in the Ballot Options window causes the race box but not the candidate text or voting ovals to be horizontally shifted.   

 

Not quite.  Right justify the candidate text and look again.

The Vert Shift Box field shifts the race box vertically as well as the voting ovals,  

 

Wrong.  Turn on gridlines and look at the oval positions.  They don't move.

 but the candidates are shifted by the same amount again, which is erroneous. 

 

Shawnee likes it that way, for reasons I have never fully understood myself.  This is similar to your choice of mail font.
