Hello Martin,
I have left the answer to the first question for Plus Community (since it seems to be a question about ACCPAC Plus.
In Adagio, if you need precise positioning of an element in a document, use the right mouse button to select the element, and choose Size & Colors from the pop-up menu. You can (theoretically) position an element within 1/10,000 of an inch! (However, I don't believe we have specification codes to isolate the digits in this manner as you require.)
All the best in 2002!
