The only thing I can think of is some sort of page-layout program with % views
that can be changed. I understand that may well be overkill, but if there's no
other alternative, it just might work. I believe programs range from Aldus
PageMaker and Quark XPress (on the high end) down to Publish-It on the low end.

Please correct me if I've missed something- I'd be interested if a smaller
product actually supports this kind of feature...
