Spinning beach ball, no print

If a print form has a TDSO and the data it displays is too big to  
display completely within it's bounds on the form, it will give the  
spinning beach ball. At least this is the case with the TDSO on a data  
tile that includes an overflow tile. I can't remember if I tested it  
in a form without the overflow tile. The solution is to make sure you  
are not trying to print a record with too many characters to fit in  
the TDSO.
