Hi Peter,
Have you seen my Step and Repeat applet? That's lets you easily take a
frame or a group of frames and duplicate them multiple times on one
sheet, with the addition of crop marks added in the right places.
There's also my simpler applet CropMarks to just add some crop marks
around a frame.
