Glad you like the forum!

To force a page break, right-click on the section and select Section Expert. Then enable the property New Page After.

To create a table, you have to fake it. Put a box around the details section and then draw the lines within the detail section. The detail section will be repeated for each row in the table. When you preview it, the report will look like it has a table similar to the Word table. Note that this is a bit tricky and you'll have to play with the formatting a bit before you get something you like. It definitely won't happen the first couple of times around.

yes, you have one detail section and then when you print it out all the rows will print one right after the other and look like one big grid (assuming you can get those lines to look good). The box is in the current version (menu Insert | Box). Actually, I think one of the Crystal Report sample reports uses the box, but I can't remember which one. Play around with it to see how it looks.

Boxes can span across multiple sections. Start it in the page header and end it in the page footer. Then there will be one big table for each page.
