Force text box to a new page on report

I have an MS access report in which each record can have multiple images (each of which can vary in size depending on what the user wants although there are max limits set) and each image has its own caption. I've got the images to display correctly, but I'm having trouble with the caption--the caption is displayed underneath the image and if the user resizes the image such that it takes up almost a whole report page, but not all, then the caption will fill the remaining space on the page and spill over to the next. Is there a way to force the entire text box to spill over to the next page instead of splitting between the two? Big reason is that it's undesirable to have just one line spill over to the next page and the user not realize it.
 
Have you looked at 'Grouping' on the report

That's what I ended up doing...created a new group, put that text box in the group all by itself and made sure that groups "Keep Together" property was Yes.
