Thanks, Beth, the screen shot helps. The problem is that while it may appear that the chart fits entirely on the three pages, it actually doesn't. The clue is the dotted page boundary lines on the right side. The two boxes on the right center apparently just barely intrude into the next page. I think you will find if you nudge them slightly to the left and use Tools/Diagram/Size to Components you will find that the chart gets slightly narrower, and the dotted lines on the right will disappear
along with the extra pages.
