Sometimes memo/clob field forces a new page

Question

In Details G, I have a text object called Note. Below that in Details H is a datatype Memo which gets a clob field from the database.

I always want to show Memo directly below Note, but sometimes Details H starts from new page - even though G ends in the middle of the page and there should be plenty of room for H. How can I fix this?

Checking Keep Together for the details section didn't help.

Answer 1

Keep Together can't keep objects together that won't fit on one page. They may not fit because of border settings, white-space in your Memo field or other things.

Allow your Memo field to be splitted up - uncheck Keep Object Together in the Format Editor of the Memo field. This will let it start right below the previous section - even if it won't fit on the page.

Also make sure that you haven't checked New Page Before in the section properties of the section containing the Memo.
