Long text starts on next page

I have a table where a cell gets populated with a lot of data. When data is
longer than the page it would page break into the next while leaving a huge
white space on the previous page. how can i make it page break in the middle
of the text when it needs to instead of the whole cell getting moved to the
next page.A textbox has an implicit keep-together flag set on it which dictates the
behavior you are seeing. It is not currently possible to modify this
behavior.
Workarounds include breaking the text into multiple textboxes.

dynamically from a database that is often 60-100 lines long. We get a lot of
page breaks between table & group header rows which not only makes the report
messy but wastes a lot of paper. we also tried using a list with several
textboxes in it and set the keeptogether proprty of the list to true but now
the top textbox gets separated from the one below it if the one below it
needs to span pages. Any other ideas? Thanks.
