I have a state form where in the middle of the first page is a narrative section. There are additional boxes at the bottom of the from for reporting officer to sign and and date the report. My question is, on the narrative section, if it is larger than ten lines that are available in the first page, how do I Crystal Repots on page two to start with line ten of the narrative. The narrative is a memo field. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
couple questions that might help get a response

How is the "form" broken down? For example is there header, footer, detail?
What section is the narrative portion?
Is the ten lines you mention ten lines of continuous text or 10 separate lines ending with a period or a line break of some kind?

The Narrative is in the footer section. In the database, the narrative is a memo field. However only ten lines will fit on the first page and the remaining portion of the narrative is to be placed on page 2. I guess I need to know if there is a way to break the memo field so that the first ten lines will print in the middle of page one and then the rest on page two. I am using the can grow and can get the first ten lines to fill but don't know how to get the remaining narrative on page 2 to start at the right spot (ie: what would be the eleventh line of the narrative).
 
You didn't answer the question re: whether each "line" ends with a return character or whether the field is continuous.
