Thomas...I agree that this would be the 2nd-best solution for small numbers.
(The BEST would be for Frame to allow intermixed sizes.) However, I'm at
about 300 pages and about 200 of them are oversize, and they are intermixed.
Can you imagine what would be involved to intermix the sizes? They would
have to cart me away in a white canvas jacket with sleeves that are WAY-too
long.

Subject: RE: 11X17 documentation
In my early days as a tech writer I wrote for a printer interface
manufacturer. I had several manuals that had diagrams and character maps
that required a page larger than the document page. What I did was to have
the width of that page in the manual be larger than the rest and fold it so
that the book dimensions would remain the same.
This is tedious, but for small numbers it works great. If you're just doing
a few in-house versions, keep the manual at 8 1/2 x 11, but put large pages
at 11 x 17. You can fold the large page in half, then fold the outside
portion by half again.
