Field Can Grow Setting

Wondering if anyone has run into this.

I'm creating a simple list report that displays enough fields that I'm having to use 11x17 landscape paper.

Each detail line of the report is divided by a line and the entire report has a border around it.

One of my fields is a comment field that I have set to "Can Grow" - expands vertically.

On one of the pages that gets printed (there are 25) the last row on that pages has a very large comment field that is growing beyond the border of the report. I can limit the comment to only print about 4 lines but that prohibits me from displaying the entire comment.

Pushing it to the top of the next page would be ok but that for all I know might push another problem comment to the bottom of a page.

Anyone come across this?

How do I let the field grow but not go outside of the border?

Thanks in advance.
 
Which Crystal? And have you checked the 'Keep Object Together' box for the field?

Version 10 - forgot to put that.

I'll try the "Keep Object Together" option - didn't see that.

Thanks
