Subreport placement problem

I have not worked with subreports very often and am having trouble with placement on my main report. I can move and resize the report on the design page but when I look at the preview, it is not where I want it. I tried resizing on the preview page but I am unable to resize the height on the preview page at all. I have tried formatting the subreport but it still does not affect the preview. I am using Crystal XI.
 
Subreports are automatically set to grow. If you want to control the size, select the subreport->format subreport->common tab->uncheck "can grow". This presents a potential problem, however, in that records/results might not be displayed because of the manual sizing.

Note also that formatting of the subreport mostly has to be done within the subreport itself, click and a new tab opens (at least in Crystal 10).

Thank you! I unchecked the "grow" box and was able to resize.
