Hey, an EASY question!!

There is an old standard for this that works just fine.Whatcha do is this:

Break the flowchart into page-size sections, so that you are not cutting any of the logical elements (boxes, in other words), but are severing one or more lines.

Attach a small circle to each broken line end (so there are two circles per break).

Label corresponding circles with the same identifier. (In the past I've used cursive Greek letters--what you get when you type lowercase letters on your English keyboard--but you could use Latin alphabet letters, roman or arabic numerals, whatever suits your fancy, I guess.)

Anyone familiar with standard flowcharting symbols should have no trouble connecting the, er, circles.
