Dear FMP guru's

I have been searching the archives and the net to try and find a
solution to pages not breaking properly when printing. There is too
much white space at the bottom of the page because FM refuses to
break the body part across page boundaries. Here are the details:

FMA 12.0v2
Parts in the layout:
Title header
Header
Leading sub summary sorted by a number field called sequence
Body
Trailing summary
Footer

Title header, header, trailing summary and footer all print as they
should.
All objects in all parts have "sliding up" and "reduce size of
enclosing part" turned on.
The Leading sub summary part has two objects in it, a text field and
a graphic object ( a grey rectangle the width of the page ).
The body part has two objects in it also. A text field for the
heading and a merge field for the story. The body part and the merge
field are large enough to contain a lot of text.
Each part has "allow break across page boundaries checked"

The body part does not break across page boundaries.

If I delete the Leading sub summary part, then the body does break
across page boundaries.

If I bring the Leading sub summary part back, then once again the
body does not break across page boundaries.

Page setup is set to A4, there is a generous fixed page margin of 36 pt.

Is it even possible to get a good page break when using leading sub
summary parts?

Something I have learned about printing with sub summary parts: Text
within a sub summary will break across page boundaries but different
sub summaries will not break across page boundaries. Just to explain
what I mean about different sub summaries..
It is still the same sub summary part, summarising on a different
value. If it is summarising on a number field, all records that have
the number 1 will be in the same group, or all records that have the
number 2 will be in the same group etc. If within a group some text
is required to break across the page boundary it will. If however
group 1 ends halfway down the page and group 2 requires a whole page,
group 2 will start on the next page. Not below group 1 on the first
page. This leaves a big gap on the bottom of page 1.

Why do sub summaries behave like this?

thanks

Chris
