Thank you Victor ... this was an older query and I did manage that workaround. 
... these odd little quirks cause so much when we expect all to be just right!!!

I have found that just selecting all on a report and pasting onto an Excel 
sheet does give so much more formatting options, and once a year for that is OK.

Kind regards

David

Subject: Re: [GNC] Report ROWS (being badly broken at the bottom of a page)

This is a problem common to many reports, including invoices, which is the use 
case for which I learned the work-around.  Copying to a spreadsheet really 
isn’t a great solution after you’ve figured out how to get an invoice formatted 
the way you want and then after a couple of years generate an invoice with too 
many lines and it breaks in the middle of a line badly…

That said, the customer for which we had the long invoices is no longer a 
customer of ours, so I haven’t needed the workaround in years, but I’m 
reasonably certain it still works.  

The workaround I used was to save the report as HTML and then open it in a 
browser that respects the tag that tells it not to let that happen.  Yes there 
is such a tag and it is used in the reports, but it is optional (!) for 
browsers to respect that tag when generating a print version of the page.  If I 
recall correctly, Safari is based on the same code as used in GnuCash, and does 
not respect it, but FireFox does respect it.  I didn’t try Explorer or Chrome, 
since I had found a solution.  

From the right browser you can send it to the printer or to a PDF writer and 
get the correct result.
