Crosstab cols 'stretch down'/not on different page

I want my crosstab report to stretch down the page if the number of columns exceeds available space on the page - how can I achieve this?
I can't use a single concatenated string value in a single memo as I need to bold/strikeout individual cells.

Also, I've tried dropping a Crosstab Object onto my report to see if I could do it with this but I get a 'List index out of bounds (-1)' when it brings up the editor (immediately after it has created and positioned the object).

eg.
Currently I get:     But, I would like:
+-----------------+ +-----------------+ 
|MASTERDATA C1 C2 | |MASTERDATA C1 C2 | 
|                 | |           C3 C4 | 
+-----------------+ +-----------------+
+-----------------+
|MASTERDATA C3 C4 |
+-----------------+
where C1-4 are the crosstab columns...

PS. Alex...can I ask for the 'highlight' option to be extended to include the font effect StrikeOut? (Actually, may be include the other font settings like: Name & Size)

    If this report is a custom crosstab report and columns feel out of the right page margin, then that line is printed on a new page. Right ?

    If this is the trouble you are dealing with then the only solution I see is to change the FR source. Take a look at the FR_Class unit and procedure CheckColumnPageBreak.

    Damn.

    Alex...can you include a boolean option on the cross tab band to achieve this?

    ... well it can't be that hard. Procedure has only ~30 lines.

    Just comment the part when it create new page and move Y and X position to the start of the next line.

    ... and a few other fixes in the mentioned procedure and you're done.

    I've done it with FreeReport 2 years ago.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
