My two-part detail section, that is positioned after two groups, extends beyond the end of the page. How might I prevent this?
 
Do you mean that fields have gone beyond the report area? Use View > Zoom > 75% to see them and then move them back. Or limit a field that overlaps.

It helps to give your Crystal version - 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 11 or whatever. Methods sometimes change between versions, and higher versions have extra options. In this case, it probably makes no difference.

Crystal version 9.2

I meant that when there are enough detail records to extend to two pages, the lines print beyond the bottom of the page.
 
Detail section a underlays section b, if that's relevant. More important is that the number of lines in the combined sections is variable.
 
Do you mean that these are detail lines in a group? That it prints some on one page and some on the next? If so, right-click on the group header or footer and choose Change Group. This lets you choose Keep Group Together and also Repeat Group Header On Each Page.

If it's actually printing outside the print area, then that's outside my experience. And I've never used underlays.

Yes, instead of printing on page 2 to allow room for the page footer on page 1, the printing extends beyond the bottom of the page, pushing the page footer out of sight.
 
Never seen anything like it. Can anyone else help?
