Jasper Reports - Splitting element between pages

[andreas_kc]

 

I am new to JasperReports and have a long staticText element that could partially fit on page 1, but does not and instead waits to start on page 2. In Crystal Reports this behaves like the "Keep Together" option on the element.

How can I get JasperReports to split the staticText element and print what is possible on the first page and then print the remainder on the second?

Don't know why the text editor isn't showinq question?

 

Here it is.. I am new to JasperReports and have a long staticText element that could partially fit on page 1, but does not and instead waits to start on page 2. In Crystal Reports this behaves like the "Keep Together" option on the element.

 

How can I get JasperReports to split the staticText element and print what is possible on the first page and then print the remainder on the second?

Anyone? I've been beating my face into this problem now for a few days... Is there any way to have a staticText element or regular text element split between pages? Or will an element only behave with "Keep Together" and move to the next page if long enough?
