REP-1814: Report cannot be formatted. Object 'vertically' can never fit within

This one is hard to workaround particularly when you have complex report structure like several repeating parent child frames and anchoring objects.

If you are lucky then simplest form of error might just mean that the object pointed out in error is going out of page boundary.

If this does not help in resolving then analyze for following possible causes.
1.Find the anchoring objects which are forced to print on the same page but due to size constraints are not allowed to. Try removing the page protect and set the frame object properties to variable and see if error is resolved.

2.Try deleting the object . if the error now moves to another field then it may the case of inconsistent repeating frames. Set all frames "Print object on" to first page and "Base printing on" to enclosing object.

Above is from: http://ora-errors.blogspot.hk/2009/10/rep-1814-report-cannot-be-formatted.html, it works for my problem.
