Cognos Report Studio and prevent page breaks in HTML report

I made reports in IBM Cognos Report Studio, version was 10 but it has only slight changes compared to version 8. (If you are new with Cognos you might wonder if I have typed number wrong but I haven't because previous version was 8.) Software was in Finnish and that makes it sometimes more difficult to find the right settings for objects's properties because translations can be so weird sometimes and use terms wrong. I wrote these instructions here because for me these settings weren't logical.. :) This page break example picture has Finnish texts.

Desired report layout had crosstab first and after that a couple of graphs and these all had to be in one HTML-page without page breaks.

At first I set rows per page number for the crosstab big enough to prevent page break then I checked that all possible properties which could affect to page breaks.

[ 1 ] Go to File / Tiedosto and in the Report Properties / Raportin ominaisuudet menu set ”Page break by data container for interactive HTML” / ”Tietosäilön sivunvaihto vuorovaikutteiselle HTML:lle” à Yes (default setting is No)
[ 2 ] Deselect ”Paginate saved HTML output” / ”Sivuta tallennetut HTML-tulokset” --> OK.
