Handling large data values in Textboxes

Hi, Ive got a report using a List item that is vertically displaying the columns from a table. The problem I run into, is that some of the fields in this table contain large blocks of text where the users have entered comments and such.

I am using Textboxes to display this data.

So my report will look something like
--
Field label 1 Field value 1
Field label 2 Field value 2
Field label 3

<white space>

<page break>

Field value 3 > this is a big block of text
Field label 4 Field value 4
etc

It appears as though the report attempts to keep the contents of each textbox together even if that means breaking onto an entirely new page to do this. I would prefer for the data to flow more natrually instead where the page breaks in the middle of the data being displayed should it be too large to fit on the page it started on.

--
Field label 1 Field value 1
Field label 2 Field value 2
Field label 3 Field value 3 As much as can fit on this page

<page break>

Field value 3 > remaining data that broke over the page
Field label 4 Field value 4
etc

Any suggestions would be apprecaited.

Try setting KeepTogether property of your List to true so that both label and value of field3 may go to next page.

Thanks for the reply Shyam

While it would be nice to keep the label and value together, my major problem is that I want to have the report display whatever it can fit on each page of my large comment blocks, instead of breaking the entire comment onto a second page leaving me with a huge amount of white space. (see my example above for my desired output).

I guess your requirement may not be possible though you can resort to some work around like the one I suggested above or even RepeatWith property of the label textbox and set to the value field name.
