Selecting and moving multiple frames
We use an application that uses Crystal Reports to export data as frames into
Word. Each frame has the data and label in it. Unfortunately, the app doesn't have an option to keep data together as Access does, so it "prints" data from multipe record sets on a single page. By that I mean if the record set is "Group A" and there's only one record for a particulare page, the app will put as many records from record set "Group B" onto the same page. Crystal is integrated into the app so I have no way of changing the formatting. So, is there a way to select multiple frames at once to move them? Shift-Left Click and Control-Left CLick don't work. -- I know enuff to be dangerous. |

Hi ?B?UmVhbEdvbWVy?=,
We use an application that uses Crystal Reports to export data as frames into Word. Each frame has the data and label in it. Unfortunately, the app doesn't have an option to keep data together as Access does, so it "prints" data from multipe record sets on a single page. By that I mean if the record set is "Group A" and there's only one record for a particulare page, the app will put as many records from record set "Group B" onto the same page. Crystal is integrated into the app so I have no way of changing the formatting. So, is there a way to select multiple frames at once to move them? No, there is not. Frames pre-date "modern" text boxes and, while they appear to be the same kind of thing, they aren't. Frames lack many things we've learned to expect from "graphics", including being able to select more than one simultaneously. However - and I don't know whether this will help you - frames do have anchors that associate them with particular paragraphs. If the Crystal Reports result has inserted a paragraph mark for each frame, and anchored the frames that way (rather than all to the same paragraph mark), you should be able to click in the paragraph mark for frame starting "Group B"), then press Ctrl+Enter to force it to the next page.
