Keep Together, but only  if you want to! For subreports and crosstabs, you may not want to.

 One of formatting options on objects and sections in your report is “Keep Together”. Normally this is ticked to say that you do not want the object split over a page break. For database fields, formulas and even charts and maps that is probably the way you want your report to behave, so leave the default tick as given.

However, there are two objects that you might need to have behave differently. A crosstab or a subreport can grow dramatically in size during the processing of a Crystal Report. There may be times when you want the entire object on its own page, but otherwise, you might want to see as much as you can on the current page, and then show the rest on subsequent pages. 

Untick “Keep Object Together” if you want to see some of the object fit on the current page. You will also need to untick “Keep Together” for that section in the section formatting.
