Page size setup for US and Euro paper?

[RNW]

Hi, all.

I'm trying to set up a Visio document for a big project that I'm doing (100+
horizontal flow charts with functional bands). Each page will be long and
will have to tile when printed.

The problem is that the document needs to be printable on both US and
European size papers. So this makes 2 problems for me with regard to page
breaks on the different sizes of paper:

1. I manually put the titles of the functional bands on each "tiled" page
because I can't figure out how to get them to repeat automatically, and they
don't print in the right spot on all sizes of paper.

2. I place the boxes so that none of them are cut in half by page breaks
when printing, but this doesn't work on all sizes of paper.

Is there a way to do a "one-size fits all" page setup so this can work?

Thanks.

You could set each flowchart to be on a seperate page and use print to fit.
The placement of the title box can be done by using a background page.

So how do you keep the title box in the same relative position? Change the
PinX and PinY of the Title block to be the pagewidth and Page Height minus a
margin and the width (or height) of the title block.

As to determining Metric/US, you could create a document variable (Use the
top of the Document Explorer (with nothing selected) to show the document
shapesheet) and use that to control the page width/height.
