The page grids are outlined in the solid blue, and I don't know how to quickly and efficiently scale every box, text, and line down by the same amount in order to fit it into the area. Rearranging the blocks does not necessarily keep the connections. There are lines connected to other lines that haven't "snapped" (excuse my lack of technical language, I'm no computer whiz) to the X connection points. This was done for aesthetic purposes. While I appreciate your help, or rather your prompt for further clarification, please do understand I'm neither a programmer, coder, nor computer whiz. Evan W.

They can't know, what exactly you mean by "fit all boxes onto area". Do you want them scaled down, or just moved?

It really depends on the exact result you want to achieve, but one thing might help you: Dia could show you the page grid. All objects that fit inside one page cell, will be printed on one page.
