how to format text fields

Hi all,
I´m just wondering, how to (RS2000):
How can I reach that a textfield content is being cut by a page break and
continued on page 2?
(In print preview mode: now if the textfield content doesn´t fit on the same
page, it´s printed on page 2, leaving a lot of blank space on page 1.
Let´s say the content is 30 lines long:
I simply want to get the first 20 lines on page 1 (till page end) and the
rest 10 lines on page 2.
I experimented, now CanGrow=True and CanShrink=True, but I didn´t find any
more properties controlling this behavior.)
Is there any way to format _parts_ of a textfield content in different ways
(f.e. some words bold)?
(Now each time a text shall be bold (f.e. headings and text) , I have to
create an own textbox and then an own textboxes for the text, followed by a
new sections and so on. That´s exhausting. Any better way to reach that?)
Thanks for tips!

Is the text field in a table or dumped to a textbox control?

There's no way I'm aware of that would allow this behavior. Font weight no
text boxes are pretty much an all or none property.

The field content is bound to a textbox control.
(The whole report contains mostly text in a lot of textboxes.)

Are your text boxes within a Table? If so, use a List object instead of
Tables. I've found this to work much better. There seems to be a bug in the
Table object when displaying large amounts of text.
