How to keep a long summary text inside a sub report

[nghongquang]

Dear everyone,

 

I am beginner in iReport. I created a master report and put another sub report in Detail 2 band. But I have a problem because the requirement has a very long summary text must keep below the total Price in sub-report.

I put the total Price into Summary band of Subreport, I also try to keep the long summary text inside the Summary of Subreport but the format of Subreport is not very good. The products do not fill full of the first page and the summary create a new page automatically.

So I want to put only the Total Price into the Summary of Subreport and move out the long summary text from SubReport.

Please help me to find down the solution to keep the long summary text at the end of Subreport without putting into Subreport.

 

Thanks very much

You don't need to set your TEXT FIELD as high to show the whole text in design view... do the following:

1. use a text field, placed in summary in the main report

2. Set "Stretch with overflow" for the text field an type your text in the fields' expression

3. Uncheck "Print summary on new page" in the report options.

That should do it.

Cheers, Thomas
