Breaking text and allowing it to continue at the top of the next p

[Guest]

I have a complicated report which has a grouping option where a heading,
subheading and text item will print together. If they can't fit at the
bottom of the page, the whole group is printed on the following page.
Problem is, sometimes the text item is really long and it could have printed
partially on the bottom of the previous page if it were possible to allow it
to continue to the next page.

How is it possible to examine the length of the text parts concerned, to
examine the amount of page left to print on, and to force the group to start
at the bottom of the "previous" page instead of banging the whole text block
as described above, on to a new page?

I would appreciate any help. Thanks very much.

I don't think you need to examine the text. It sounds more
like you have a section (group header??) with its
ForceNewPage property set to BeforeSection (or maybe a
footer section's set to After Section).

Another possibility is that you have the group's
KeepTogether property set to Whole Group when you want
either None or With First Detail.
