question about using format with multiple columns

[crystalamber]

Hi,

i have to create a report, make each columns vertical in detail section, so i use subsections, five ones, and i get the following view:

original:
col1 col2 col3 col4
col11 col22 col33 col44

now:
col1 col11
col2 col22
col3 col33
col4 col44

yes, it is just what i want, and i use first across then down. However, when it reaches the bottom of the page, if there is not enough space for one detail, it will occupy the space right of it, as follows:

col1 col4 col11
col2 col22
col3 col33

next page:
col44


how to deal with it, i need to make each page have an intact record, not make them divided. and not make one record occupy other place. if there isnt enough space, just make it start at new page.


Any help will be appreciated!

Do you have a group field? Do you have "format group with multiple columns" checked? Is the group footer formatted to "Print at bottom of page"? That's the only way I could get a similar display.
