Re: [libreoffice-users] Base report text fields of variable size
Hey Harvey, The next question, though, is how do I ensure that only complete records are printed on a page? I.e. How do I prevent the records being split between the bottom of one page and the top of the next? The 'Force new section' function seems to print only one record per page. Set "Keep together" for the Group. Doesn't work in "Detail" so create a group instead.

[libreoffice-users] Base report text fields of variable size
The next question, though, is how do I ensure that only complete records are printed on a page? I.e. How do I prevent the records being split between the bottom of one page and the top of the next? The 'Force new section' function seems to print only one record per page. Cheers Harvey On Mon, 2023-11-20 at 18:08 +0100, Harvey Nimmo wrote: > Sorry to trouble you.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Base report - text fields of variable size
Sorry to trouble you. 'Auto grow' is the answer to my question. I failed to notice this improvement since I generated the report originally many years ago!

[libreoffice-users] Base report - text fields of variable size
When creating a Base report consisting of a list of sddresses, for example, some of the text fields occupy more than the fixed space allowed by the Base report editor. The overlarge texts are highlighted with red triangles and the field sizes can be edited with Writer. This editing task is exceedingly tedious when the list is long. Does anyone have an idea how use the Base report editor to avoid having to edit each overlarge text field individually?
