I misread the post at first.
and thought you had XPGD11 Sorry I do not have Xara Page & Layout Designer 11, so any comment I could make might be wrong.
Good ol Phil knows whats going on. I see he posted while I struggled to post.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
Not sure why you want to reduce your page size to the size of the coupon.
I would make your page 8.5x11 and then using the guides, place on horizontally 1/2 way down the page and 1 vertically halfway along the page.
Then create your voucher in the top left quadrant (allowing for any bleed) and when finished, right click and drag it to the remaining 3 quadrants.
Wow, this is where having a messenger set up would have saved time.
Thanks for the samples. How do I make the guides visible? Is there a better way to draw my boxes without having to drag away from the corners of the page? I noticed on your sample template that your divider lines extend off the page and back to the guide (by 'guide', I take it you mean the rulers on the top and side). Is that to help you place the line where you want it? How do I do that?

Sorry everyone, I deleted what I said in my earlier post because I thought I was wrong.
I suspect the green and red rectangles are because "Show Print Borders" is enabled in the Window menu.
To enable bleed margins and cut marks around four separate printable areas to be cut out from a printed sheet, either:
1. Set the document page size to be the same as the paper size and place copies of your 4 separate smaller sub-pages manually on the page with space between to allow for colour bleeding and add manually drawn cut marks. Then just print as normal.
or
2. Set the document page size to be the same as one of the smaller subpages, set up bleed margin and cut marks and then allow your printer software to fit multiple copies onto a sheet of paper or export to PDF and use an external composition/imposition program such as Adobe Acrobat to fit multiple copies.

Will I need to drag a box inside of my box and do my work within the inner box to give myself room around the borders? Or will just setting the bleed be buffer enough? When I set the borders within one box, wouldn't that be as simple as dragging a box?
