Thanks everybody' for your input, very instructive. I understand the concept behind Gamerprinter's process and I will use it for I don't need to repeat it one hundred times ;-) I just put together a raw map for a battletech campaign it's no work of art and I prefer to stay within Xara for this quick job. While looking for a solution I also stumbled on this option in File/Print option/Print settings (well at least that's how I translate the menu). You can select a particular coordinate to print a page at the size defined in the page options. Its takes some fiddling but if one doesn't mind some overlaps it's not too bad. You need to display the print borders (in the menu "window") in order to visualize what you are doing, however.
