Question

Is there some way to format a textobject to stick to the bottom of one section and then, depending on how much text that is filling it, make it grow upwards? Much like the behavior that we associate with vertical alignment.
As far as I know, vertical-alignment:bottom (or similar) does not exist in Crystal Reports.

Is there a way to accomplish this by code, formatting formulas or some other way?

Answer 1

You should be able to achieve the same effect by

• splitting the existing section into
  two subsections
• placing the growable field as the only field in the first subsection,
  and all other fields in the second
  subsection
• in the section expert, checking the “Underlay Following Sections” option
  for the first subsection.
