Text field overflowing to new page(s)

[Drew_RCM]

I have a form I created in LiveCycle Designer 7, which consists of 3 pages.  Page 3 has 4 subforms, the third of which encompasses a text field that is designed for long narratives so that it will extend over multiple pages, and will allow the fourth subform to move to the end of the final page when the user tabs out of the text field.  Currently when I paste text into the field on the PDF preview window, the text field expands to the very bottom of page 3 and the fourth subform disappears.  I know that I'm very close, but can't get the next page to populate.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

1. Make sure that your expandable text field is placed within a subform.

2. Open the object palette and choose 'Allow page breaks within content' .

try now.

Hi Nith.

The text field is in a subform set to Flow Content, with "Allow Page Breaks within Content" checked.  This subform is wrapped in another subform (at the Page level) which is also set to Flow Content, however the "Allow Page Breaks within Content" checkbox is grayed out.  When I have tried putting the text field directly in the subform at the Page level, the checkbox is always grayed out.  The Page is set to Position Content, with "Allow Page Breaks within Content" checked.

I know it's something simple I'm missing, but I just haven't been able to figure it out yet.

The page level subform must be set to flowed to allow a new page to be added.

Thanks Paul and Nith for the help.  I finally have the form working as intended and am learning more of the intricacies of LiveCycle Designer daily.
