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.

Are your text boxes within a Table? If so, use a List object instead of

How to force a subreport not to break to the new page?

Hello,
I have a subreport embeded into the main report. When the subreport contains
more data than it can be displayed on the same page, it breaks to the next
page leaving the previous one almost empty.
Does anybody know a solution for keeping subreport data on the same page as
much as possible and breaking to the next page with the rest of data that
does not fit to the first page?
Thank you in advance.
EdmundasI've found out that if the size of the (body and report itself) of the
subreport is small enough, this occurs less, but this seems like a work
around...|||> When the subreport contains

I am having the same issue. The main report is very simple - a table with 2
detail lines - the second detail line has the subreport in it. The subreport
is a simple table with one header and one detail band.
Like StefanO-nl - I don't see this problem on other reports where the
subreport has a small number of rows.
Is there any kind of work-around for this? A sub-report is a highly useful
thing, so I'd hate to not be able to use it because of page-break weirdness
in PDFs.
I just installed RS SP2 (client only) for development, and it did not fix
the problem.

it seems that if the subreport has a height of .1 and a width equal to the
width of the widest report item, random pagination does not occur.

How to force a page break on a multi-column report ?

When I use the PageBreakAtEnd on the table or on a group in the table, all it does is create a new column of the column report.

I'd want it to start a new page, how can I do this ? Should I work around this issue using code ?

Background: What I need to achieve is a report with 2 columns where the list of products in category 1 are listed in the left column and then snake to the 2nd column on the same page, then to column 1 on page 2, column 2 on page 2, etc...

When it comes to category 2, it should start a fresh new page regardless of whether the previous product was rendered in column 1 or column 2.

I get the snaking to work using the "Columns" property of the report Body. However page breaks do not start a new page, they just start a new column.

What if you created an outer group which evaluated the same expression, and put the page break on that group instead? Would that work for you?|||

Hi Alan,

If u want page break after specifi records on report u can try by modifying the(.rdl) file which is XML and set the tag property as specific inches might work for u.For that u have to set the tag value 2 in or any 'x' in where tag name is 'InteractiveHeight'.

(<InteractiveHeight>11in</InteractiveHeight>)

I hope this'll help u for forcing the page break.

Regards,

Vikas
