Use “Keep Together” to avoid blank pages.

There are three objects that can change size dramatically inside a report. They are:

• Memo field

• Crosstab object

• Subreport.

 If you place these on your report and they become very large, the “Keep Together” property can result in the entire object being relocated to the next page.

Sometimes in these situations, you are happy to see some of the object on the current page and want it to continue over subsequent pages.

Remember to untick “Keep Together” on the formatting for the section the object is in. On subreports and memo fields you will also need to untick “Keep Together” on the object format.
