I have a report that looks like this:

Page Header consisting of:

Logo and Return addy (4 lines)

Addressing Information (from database) 4 lines

Legal/marketing dross 4 lines

Report Header onsisting of 1 line

Report body can run 1 to 10 pages

Report footer

Page footer


What I want to do is to divide the report up so that the
page header will only appear on the first page of each
letter that goes out. The rest should appear on all the
other pages.

My boss might even allow me to go to lunch if I could also
figure out how to have a single carryover line from the
addressing on the top of each additional page i.e. Joe
Smith /2 and so on.

Thoughts, Ideas?
 
It sounds like you want your page header to be a group
header (based on something that changes in your data -
like the addressing information?) With group headers, you
can specify whether you want them on every page or not.
(change REPEAT SECTION property to NO for group header).

You may be able to make a second group header to handle
the 1 line that you want to carry over to each page. It
would be based on the one line of address. (change REPEAT
SECTION property to YES for this header).

Not sure if you listed your report content correctly.
Report headers and footers only appear once in a report.
They are the highest level. Page headers and footers are
contained within Report body. They appear each time a new
page is written. Maybe you have your info in the wrong
sections?

Hope this helps.
