I need to print text in a footer (along with some other fields). No matter what settings I use, my text always moves to page 2 (this is only a one page report).

Are there some specific procedures for putting text on report footers? I need the text to print on specific lines of my report so that they can be mapped by my document software (Optio).

Use skip.to() to start printing from a specific line, but if the total lines in the layout are more than the lines available on the page, then it will shift to next page.

Also put the text in it's own layout.

I tried putting the text in a second footer layout.

Where would I put the skip.to() in my script in the before.layout of the footer?

Should I be programatically limiting my text to a certain number of lines? I'm ok with getting 4 lines to print on the first page, then letting it go to a second if there's more.

Forget my last post - I put my footer info in after.report.1 and set the skip.to(35) and it works great!
