"can grow" text boxes not splitting

Hello, I've got a report that I use to create certificates. I've got many text boxes that I've set to "can grow" so that they grow and shrink to fit whatever data is pumped into them. Each text box also has a title that just sits before it and explains what the data is. Sometimes, some of the items get pretty full, and the data starts to "grow" to a 2nd an 3rd page. This is fine but what happens every once in a while, is that the title ends up on the bottom of page 1, and the data is on the top of page 2. Also at times, the data is split between page 1 and 2. (or page 2 and 3).

Is there any way to force all the text box (and even the title) to all appear on the next page if it ends up trying to split it??

Thanks,

Don't know if this will help you, but have had success with it a while back for similar circumstances. Align the Title control just slightly above (horizontally) the Text Box (field printing). HTH jt
 
Thanks jtvcs!! That is a huge step for me. It doesn't totally fix my problem, but it fixes the MAIN issue I was having! The title now goes to the next page along with the data field (text box).
But still the text box data field can still "grow" to the next page. But this is less important to me than the title.

You'd think Microsoft would have an option to not allow it to split text boxes accross pages. I wonder if there is any way for code to do that? I've messed around with some coding to place the text boxes in areas, but then it totally screws up the other fields that grow below another one.

But thanks again jtvcs!
