Subject: Map too large to print
My students are producing large maps that are not legible on standard
8 1/2 x 11" paper.  Is there a feature to divide a map in two and
print the left side independently of the right side?

Hi Gary

Unfortunately there is no such feature.  In practice we've found that
such features on other products are awkward to use
when you paste the pages back together.

One workaround is to selectively hide parts of the map and print a few
pages:

Page 1 - overview: Main contention and top-level reasons and
objections (everything below hidden)
Page 2 -  reasons: Show everything below reasons / hide everything
below objections
Page 3 -  objections: Show everything below objections / show
everything below reasons

For a really big map I do the overview, then break off individual
branches for separate printing.

Hope that helps

The simplest plan is to output the map as an image file. Then insert that image into Excel. In the page layout view, divide the image into convenient sizes. Print and tape the pieces together.

Given the lack of the feature (see Dan's post from Austhink), I have a
suggestion for Austhink if this is possible/easy to do???

A "print preview" option in Rationale... so that one could see what
would be printed on an 8.5x11 from a given zoom size - or perhaps a
set of "margins" that indicate where a map would cut off, etc..

that would be very helpful in figuring out where to selectively hide
parts of a map, WHILE one is in the process of map creation.

is this something that will be included in future versions?

I requested the "print on multiple pages" feature in April (see post:
http://groups.google.com/group/rationale/t/10e98ef6d2e00420?hl=en)
because our students too had lots of trouble printing their poster-
sized argument maps. Last year we used Rationale's predecessor
ReasonAble, which could print the maps on multiple pages with a few
mm's of overlap. This worked perfectly, and we were very surprised
that this option was gone when we upgraded to Rationale. Yes, there
are workarounds like saving as an image and then opening in Paint/
Excel before printing, but I still hope we can welcome this feature in
one of the future updates. Would make life (for our students) a lot
easier :)

problems with this. Would you care to elaborate?

Thanks -
Jimmy
