Further to my last mail; today's report run doesn't trigger the problem, =
so
I've got a new one. :)=20
After a few inches' content, my story has a KeepTogether of a header, =
space,
long table, and then another space. The table is longer than a page. =
What I
want to happen is for the header, space, and first part of the table to
appear in the remaining 4/5 of the first page, continuing on the second.
Instead the table doesn't start until page 2 (leaving a lot of empty =
space),
fills page 2, and then continues on page 3.=20
When I specify a KeepTogether, what I want is for Platypus to ensure =
that
each item starts adjacent to the end of the previous item. That aside, I
want to fill pages as much as is possible.=20
Anyone have any ideas on a quick fix? I'd really much rather be
concentrating on advanced graphing than fixing basic document flow
functionality.=20
Regards,
Garth.
