This problem sounds slightly reminiscent of the problem I had last week with a report. It turned out I needed to expand the paper size (per suggestion from Aleksey) or increase the lines setting in the reports setting. I was using 6.5++ and settting the lines to 80 or 82 on a portrait-oriented report did the trick. Also make sure none of the variables or fields are placed outside of the page boders. In my particular case R:Base would simply crash when I tried to edit the report or print it.
