For multipage prints of diagrams iFamily prints a small RxxCyy in the lower LH corner of each page to indicate Row and Column for that page. Is that what you are looking for? I have not printed a multipage diagram for over 12 months - since I found that I could generate one PDF file and send it via email to Fedex/Kinko - and yes, this also works DownUnder. You save time plus the cost of the magic tape and it looks so much more professional than a paste-up.

Your mention of emailing PDF files to FEDEX/ KINKO is a good idea. I would be interested in others experiences with this or other firms in Australia, prices, options etc. Do we need another discussion forum?

What I had in mind was a line " This data continued on page pp" along each edge. A big chart could then be put in a loose leaf note book and read like a road atlas. The RxxCyy is OK but requires a bit more sophistication. On the other hand the suggestion about Kinko's is great. At 50 cents a square foot (Here in Lafayette Indiana) It sure beats trying to paste up several sheet. I had a 12 generation descendant (2 foot by 4 foot) chart printed for $4 US.
