How to avoid textfield implicit keeptogether?

Hi,

Is there any way to avoid textfield keeptogether I tried SP1 CTP but it doesn't fix the problem ;(
I don't know if only we here in germany think that reports look awful and unreadable because of this problem, or if nobody else discovered it ;(

Look at this: http://gniza.org/repsrv/beispiel.pdf
Does anybody think it makes sense that the right text on page 2-3 is comepletely put on page 3 Every user thinks that there is no text on the right side furthermore this is a waste of paper! You can also see the funny keeptogether at page 5-6, the left long text is rendered as I want it, but the right text is put on the next page.. For another example see page 7-8..

@microsoft: could someone please tell me if this problem would be fixed sometime.

If anybody thinks he could fix the problem feel free to answer ;)
My report definition could be found here: http://gniza.org/repsrv/textfield-bug.rar

    Erm, I gave a link to a pdf and I think that we are not talking about the same problem! Could you please take a look at the PDF

    There is no way to break up a textbox between to pages. Only workaround I can think of is to break it into multiple rows of text. Breaking text is part of an overall support for rich text, which is on our wish list for a future release.

    Thanks for your answer, but wouldn't it be very easy for you to just switch off this push-down of the textbox with a small fix It works fine if the text is much to large, the textfields are broken correctly, so the logic of breaking textfields should exist somewhere. We would like to use reporting services because it has such fine things like datadriven subscriptions but this keeptogether stuff is really annoying ;(

    We've had this occur frequently with us. The issue I believe is that your page size when you add your margin widths in the proprety cannot exceed the 8-1/2" page width for portrait or 11-1/2" for landscape. If your page grid exceeds the 8" grid mark as example and your page margins are set to .125 left and .125 right then your page size should in effect be 8-1/4". This is not always the case but most of the time works and displays correctly. Staying a little to the left of the grid mark seems to keep the text from wrapping to another page. Seems simple but works.
