Default report text drifting

i have a report where the text boxes drift vertically - up to .25
inches across 10 pages. All controls are set with 'can grow' = no and
'can shrink' = no. Any ideas why this is happening? I'm pulling out
(what remaining) hair i have trying to figure this out!

It is NOT printing blank pages.

Is there any way to 'lock in' the vertical position?

I've created 50 - 100 access reports and don't recall seeing this
issue before.

Default report text drifting

Any chance the Can Grow or Can Shrink properties of the *sections* (e.g.
Detail section) are set wrong?

Also, make sure the sections' Keep Together property is set to Yes.
Otherwise the bottom bit of the detail section might spill over onto the
next page, pushing everything down.
