I have a question about the MS Works Database.

I've defined a database and prepared a report script.  However, when I
generate a report the page breaks seem to be totally arbitrary and break
records in half...

For example, the following records:  


Author:		Thomas Hardy
Book:		Jude the Obscure
Publisher:	Doubleday


Author:		Thomas Hardy
Book:		Under the Greenwood Tree
Publisher:	Doubleday




Might be printed as:




Author:		Thomas Hardy
Book:		Jude the Obscure


				Page 1


Publisher:	Doubleday


Author:		Thomas Hardy
Book:		Under the Greenwood Tree
Publisher:	Doubleday



So, is there a reasonable way to fit the most records on the page as 
possible without breaking records in two?

Thanks in advance,



Eric Terrell
