Text Field Missing Lines of Text When Spanning Pages

[suecobb]

I have several reports with numerous details sections. Each details section has a single text box and one paragraph of text. When the text box spans two pages, a line of text is missing in the preview and when I print it. If I change one of the values for almost any formatting text property, such as "Close Border on Page Break" or "Can Grow", I think I've fixed it because the line of text reappears. But when I refresh the report, that line of text disappears again. I saw some posts for similar problems when exporting to PDF, but no replies. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am using Crystal 10. I am keeping each paragraph in it's own section to simplify maintenance going forward.

Thanks.

You could check [Keep Object Together], to ensure the whole of the text object goes to the next page.

Thanks, I thought of that but it's a multipage document that goes to customers and it just doesn't look very professional with uneven bottom margins. It looks like the service pack for Crystal 10 is supposed to address a problem with Crystal crashing when the "Keep Object Together" is checked. I'll give it a try and see if that helps when it's not checked. We're in a controlled environment so I need to wait for someone in our IT dept. to download it for me.

The service pack did not improve my report results. Now I am also having the same problem when I have a string or memo field that spans page breaks. I also tried changing my page margins, and in one case it fixed the problem of the missing line of text but now the page footer is missing! In preview view, it is sitting below the bottom margin. How can that be?!
