Prevent rows wrapping over multiple columns in a report

Hi there,

I'm trying to create a three-column report with two grouping levels.
The report works fine at the moment.
Eg. grouped by time slot and class, and then surnames listed for each
class.

_Morning Session
______________Karate___Smith
______________________Brown
______________________White
______________Judo____Jones
_Afternoon Session
______________Swimming__Smith
________________________Jones

The data is presented in three columns, down the page then across.

My problem is that sometimes information spans across two columns
(bottom of one into the top of the next).
I would like it so that each set of data is confined to a single
column, and if there isn't enough space then the entire set is forced
into the next column, if that makes sense.

I have fiddled with the "New Row or Col" property but I can't seem to
get it to work.

Any suggestions?

That's usually what the KeepTogether properties are for. Be
sure to check out the group KeepTogether property if you are
using Sorting and Grouping or maybe all you need is the
section KeepTogether.
