Multiple Page Report

I currently have 3 1-page reports that I would like to combine into one, but
I am having trouble getting everything to line up correctly. In one of my
reports I had labels set up at the top in the page header section (so that it
would not be repeated) and then the data would show in the detail section.
I would like to do this same thing, on one page... now that it is multiple
pages the labels that were originally on the first report are showing up on
every page (since they are in the page header section),

Is there anyway to put these labels in the detail section (so the will
remain only on the first page) and not have them repeat?

Typically the, the Report Header is the place to put things
you only want on the first page.
 
I tried putting it in the report header, it does only appear on the first
page but it is then above the page header, I would like the page header to be
on every page at the top.... I would like the detail section to be different
for each page, but in the middle of the page, and I would like it so that my
labels won't repeat after every record.

When I originally had the report split into three separate reports I had the
labels in the page header section, which worked nicely, but it won't work now
that I have 3 different pages in one report.

Do you have any other suggestions? I could put everything for that page in
the report header and just repeat the page header on every page by putting it
in the report header, but it seems like there should be an easier way.

I think you are using the word page for two different
things. One meaning is the page where some data is
displayed and the other is one of your subreports. If you
could reword your explanation to use the word subreport
where appropriate and reserve the word page for when you are
talking about the page header, maybe I could get a better
grip on what you are trying to do.

When you are using subreports, there are many details
sections. One for the main report and another for each
subreport, all of which may be displayed multiple times.

I think you said earlier that you want the labels to appear
at the beginning of each subreport(?). To me that says that
you want the labels in each subreport's report header and
you have no use for the main report's page header section.
If this is not what you want, please try to clarify where my
understanding went off the rails.
 
I just found the e-mail for this response in my e-mail Spam... I'm still
working on this particular report, but I've changed how I'm setting it up.

Thank you for your help, I'll post any other questions I have for the report.
