You're right, of course. There are 6 picas per inch, not 12. I should have caught that by cross-checking the math. There are 72 points per inch and 12 points per pica, so 72/12 is 6 pica per inch.
That's what I get for going from memory. I spent a few years in typesetting/advertising production where I worked with points and picas on a daily basis. However, that was long ago and memory of details get fuzzy with time and disuse. Picas aren't used outside of the printing trade, so I haven't had occasion to use that unit of measure in many years.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
