WORKAROUND

  • Use the vertical scroll bar to move the page down on the screen. This prevents the top of the table or label row from being cut off.

  • Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the insertion point into the table or label row above the row that appears cut off. This causes the row to move down on screen.
