Keeping the contents of a section together

When a page break occurs within a section, the remainder of the section is printed on the next page. To print the section on a single page, use the Keep together setting. If the section cannot fit on one page, it starts on a new page and continues printing on the following pages.

One example of why you would use this setting is to keep column labels with the data they identify. If the column labels of a section are stranded at the bottom of a page, with the corresponding data at the top of the next page, apply the Keep together setting to that section.

Note: You can also keep data for a group together in a similar manner. See Keeping a group together on a page.
