Overlapping text in CR XI

34 Views

... I'm embarrassed to even post this. I work for state govt and yes, we are still using CR XI and I should add that I'm a CR newbie (but spent a good decade writing advanced reports in Access in another life).

I've designed a report with 2 text boxes, one following another (with other strings in between). Both boxes are set to grow with unlimited lines. However the 1st text box will only 'grow' so much before the strings and 2nd text box that follow begin and overlap text box #1. I should note in case it needs to be said: if I don't have text or strings following text box #1, everything is fine - the next record never overlaps the previous record's text box.

I have searched and found one thread that discussed regedits to resolve overlapping text for an even older version of CR. But the path is unlike what I see in my registry. I'm stumped and seeking help, despite feeling unworthy, given the old version I'm using.

Can anyone dig deep into their memory banks and recall if there is a remedy for this exasperating situation?

I humbly thank you in advance for the advice, help, direction etc. 😊
