I think I can get all the dimensions that are needed but I am not
exactly sure what to do with them. The insert is a rectangle 273X183 mm.
This is divided into two sections by a narrow rectangle, 14 mm wide, the
longitudinal dividing line of which coincides with the line which
divides the insert in half (short side to short side). Does that make
sense? The  template is all one piece as are the inserts I bought from
Avery.
