need to add text at bottom of a DETAIL list in a report

[peterkennett]

OK, I’m new to all this, so forgive me if I missed some easy answer to this problem!

I have a report, which is actually going to be a letter. I had no problem adding my return address, salutation and top two paragraphs in the HEADER section. I also have no problem with the DETAIL section printing out the few records I need to show. But now I want to add a closing paragraph immediately after the DETAIL section. I tried to add it in the FOOTER but that only formats a specific distance from the bottom of the page. I need it to be exactly one line from the last line in the DETAIL section. Otherwise it leaves a huge gap between the detail lines and the closing paragraph (in the footer).

---------------------------------------
HEADER
Bla bla bla bla (static text)
Bla bla bla bla
--------------------------------------
DETAIL (from 1 to 7 records (lines)
--------------------------------------
bla bla bla la (How do I add this static text?)
bla bla bla
--------------------------------------
FOOTER
Bla bla blab la (static text)


Any ideas how best to handle this? Is there a way to add a section, like a header, but between the DETAIL and FOOTER?

Assuming you are talking about that you are in the Page footer and not the Report footer you can add another section called a grouping by RIGHT clicking on the report and add Grouping. This will add a group section just below the Detail but before the pager footer.
