I've always assumed that LPub would support the double page concept so that you
could have arrows cross pages, but thats going to take a lot of thinking and
design.  LPub4 is currently a single page only design (I can only take on so

Would allowing multiple sized pages solve the page boundry crossing problem?

Imagine if I had most of my default page set up as Letter (8.5x11.0) but allowed
a way to override the page size to double the page size (there would have to be
some limitations - limiting it to double the standard page size seems
reasonable) to be 11x17 (B size), I could then add 2x the content to a page and
arrange the various elements, callouts, pointers, arrows, etc., accordingly.

Just a thought as I am catching up on this thread.
