I have a very simple Crystal report document which pulls data from a db and one of these fields may in some cases be larger than the space available in the page..in these cases the print out cuts out the information that doesn't fit.
Is there a way to make the text to into a new page when it doesn't fit?
Put that large field into its own sub-section? If that's not feasible, can you expand on what you're trying to do?
Look at the properties for the field once you've placed it onto the report, and check out the Can Grow option. This should wrap the field to as many lines as are needed to fit the value in.
Are you sure? when a record doesn't fit in the page, it goes to next page. Perhaps section expert -> keep together does what you want.
Checking the 'New Page After' option on a section or the 'Print at Bottom of Page' option are also good ways of controlling pages in the output. Keep together is useful like others mention because you will never have a section span multiple pages if it is less than a page of output as a whole.
