Thanks for the assist, Phil. Here's the deal:
The image area I want to print is about twice the size of an 8.5x11" paper.
I know I need to resize the window to the desired size (as opposed to SC's
method of using the "backsize"), but even when doing that a print command
only prints the first page's worth of the image; no other pages print.
In SC and others, a single print command on any area larger than the current
print size will generate multiple pages. Ideally, I'd like the same thing
in MC, just one print command on a large card and have it figure out where
to place the page breaks.
Alternatively, I suppose I could make the window match the size of the
printer settings, and then scroll the content, issuing a "print card"
command each time. But that seemed like more work than is likely to be
needed, so I thought I'd ask here first.
