I have a document that's one page, 11" x 17" (landscape). I want to print it as two 8.5 x 11 pages (portrait), i.e. the left half and the right half, not reduced. I hoped that AR would do what many programs do (e.g. Excel) and print on a second page whatever was missing off the edge of the first page. But no, it only printed the left half.

Following the Help file, I selected the text of the right half, because the Help file said it would then be printed. But again, no. If I printed "All", I still got only the left half. If I used "Current View", I got the *central* section of the page (i.e. half the left and half the right), even though I resized and scrolled the view so that the right half was on view, and even though "Auto-Rotate and Center" was not selected. (On the other hand, the top and bottom no longer printed, which *does* match the fact that they weren't on view. So what was *not* on view did not print, but what *was* on view did not print correctly!)

How do I print the right-hand side of this large page?
