I'm assuming we're talking about full-page overlays.
My theory on overlays is that they never line up quite the same once they're uploaded to the iSeries! Best bet is to create them to proper size, but have little or no top and left margins. This lets you use the OVRPRTF command to move the overlay 'down' and 'across' to line up with the text.
When we created our overlays for the first time we had 'fun' trying to get things to line up. We (me) in IT made an 'executive decision,' and defined the overlays to work at 12 CPI instead of 10. Not a major change, and with laser printers the resolution is good enough that it's still legible. This did mean that we had to squeeze the overlay horizontally (and apply any graphics -after- the squeeze to prevent distortion), and override the text to 12 CPI. This gave us plenty of room to maneuver both the overlay and the text to line up. It did leave an extra-wide right-hand margin (about an inch), which we filled with another copy of our logo and document title (turned sideways).
