Well, if IE understands that, it's pretty easy to adjust it to whatever
you want. 1pt = 1/72 of an inch, 25/72 = .35, so .35pt might get you the
margins of 1/4 inch. I don't remember if that works under IE or not; I
wrote that CSS a long time ago. Why not try it and report back to us?

BTW, as with (many) others in the group, I find top posting pretty hard
to read too.
