Getting memo fields to continue to the next

I have a table that contains 1 memo field per record. These fields are basically populated with paragraphs that the user selects to appear in a sort of contract. They check boxes next to the ones they want and then I have a report that prints the selected records or paragraphs with the appropriate headers and footers on each page. So far so good. Here's the thing - If a paragraph will not fit on the space left on a particular page it starts a new page. This wouldn't be so bad if the paragraphs didn't tend to be rather long. As it is, there is an unacceptable amount of blank space on the pages. Is there a way to get it to print as much as it can on the current page and then continue on the next page?

In your report design view, click on the grouping where the memo field appears (i.e. if it's in the detail section, click in the detail section). Look at Properties and under the Format tab, where it says Keep Together, change it to No.

That did the trick.
Thanks!
