How do I spill over to 2nd page

[lactbc]

I have a big Comments field at the end of the 1st page of my Report Form. If a user's comments get too big, how do I make it spill over and generate a 2nd page? Thanks.

Try right clicking on the field, choose Format Field...
On the Common tab check the Can Grow checkbox.
Leave the maximum number of lines set to 0. This will
print all text in the comment field. The report should automatically page break if the comments are too large to fit on one page.

Thanks for the help. If I may bother once more. Let me clarify a bit. The comments are not exactly the last thing on the 1st page so the spill over would be easy. There's actually a couple of more fields underneath comments. So I would like to keep the size of the comments box fixed, any spillage at the botton of that box would then continue on the second page. Hope I clear on what I'm trying to visually achieve. Thanks for any help.

Sorry...haven't logged in in awhile.
Sounds like you want the comments to spill onto the 2nd page, but the fields below the comments to remain on the first page. I would put those fields that need to remain on the 1st Page (below the comments) in a page footer. This will ensure that they print after the comments, but then they will also print on every page (unless you conditionally suppress base on page number). That, as far as I know, would be the only way to allow the comments to spill over to a second page while keeping the other fields below the comments on the first page.
