Custom multiple pages from 1 large visio map

[Eric]

I am in the fire service and I am using Visio for our response area maps. I
have a large file with a whole town's streets, addresses and hydrants layed
out. I would like to be able to set it up so I can print out sections of the
town on separate pages from the main Visio file. I would like to be able to
edit the main file and be able to print out just the page of the town that I
need. Anyone out there with any help?? Thanks so much for even reading
this.

I've got a few untested ideas, since I'm sitting on the sofa, disconnected
from the computer.

Tiling
----------------
In page setup, you can specify to "print across x pages by y pages". Or if
the drawing is already set to some huge page size and you print on normal
letter paper, you'll also get this behavior of tiling your drawing across
manypages.

In View, choose Show Page Breaks. This will help you to see you your drawing
will be broken up.


Print one tile
-----------------

Go to print preview. You'll be able to highlight one of the tiles. When you
go to print (Visio 2003 only, I think), you can select checkbox to "print
current view". This effectively lets you print one tile of the multi-page
spread.
