I have a component, lets say a "G2R" relay from the standard "relay.lbr". Can I put the Coil on one sheet and the contacts on another? If so, how? Oh, I am using Eagle 7.2.0.

Yes, no problem. There are two ways:
As you're using a recent version, you will have a column of thumbnails
of pages down the left side. Place your relay (both parts) on one sheet,
say the one you want the coil on, using the "ADD" dialog. Then "move"
the part you want elsewhere (in this case the contacts) and drag it
across to the thumbnail of the sheet you want it to be on.
Alternatively you can still use the old way. Using "ADD", place only the
coil on the sheet where you want it. If you get both parts at once,
delete the contacts. Make a note of the part number, e.g. RL1. Select
the sheet where you want the contacts and enter the command "invoke
RL1". You will be offered a list of all the remaining bits (the
contacts) and you can place them as you normally would.
The first option doesn't work (for me anyway), the second option did what I wanted.
Thanks!

Oh! Well, I may have got some details wrong as the license I have is for
V4 so the "new way" is not something I've actually used.

Thanks!
You're welcome.
