Print When Detail Overflows Question

[epulfy]

Is the "Print When Detail Overflows" option supposed to work this way or am I doing something wrong? The help states...

" Print When Detail Overflows specifies whether an element prints only after a page or column break. Specify True or False. The default is False. For example, you might set this to True to print the word Continued... after a page or column break."

Which seems to say that if you flag an element with this property it will appear on the 2nd, 3rd, etc. pages/columns. Now I have a multi-column sub-report and I want to display the words "cont." on the subsequent columns, however when I change this property to true it puts it on every column, even the first one! It seems to me that it isn't supposed to work this way since in the help menu it states it will appear "only after a page or column break". Has anyone else had a problem with this, or am I just overlooking something that will suppress the output on the first column?

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I figured out how to fix this. In the case of a report spanning multiple pages I also have to set the "Print when" category to "calc.PAGE_NUMBER GT 1".

However for a multi-column report I have to set the "Print when" category to "query.CurrentRow GT 1". I'm sure this will work for the above method too, but I have absolutely no desire to check right now.
