Need_help_in_report_layout

Question

hi all,
i have three questions, if anyone could please help me at this:
i have made a report with multiple layouts, with some of the layouts i have manually added summary / formula
fields. i did this by making a frame (set color and my desired bevel property) and distributed these summary
fields on this frame. Now this summary FRAME (frame containing the summary fields) is often shown on the next
page when it has to be appeared on the end of the page with the corresponding layout. my question is that is there
any way to tie this frame to the corresponding layout??? i guess it could adjust in the space remaining on the same
page, but it rather appears on the next page, which annoys me...
secondly i have added boilerplate text in the begining of each of these layouts. i want them to be appeared only
once not on each page (they appear on each page). how to get rid of this???
thirdly i want to catch the parameters being passed to the reports in some fields of this report but i dont know
how to do this. please give me a tip for the same...
i use:
Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2
ORACLE Server Release 10.1.0.4.2
regards...

What you can do is increase the length of page from the Object Navigator>Main Section or fix the number of reocords from main frame for each page.
secondly i have added boilerplate text in the begining of each of these layouts. i want them to be appeared only
once not on each page (they appear on each page). how to get rid of this???What happens if you set the property Print Object ON to First Page. Remember don't place that text in frame which is printing on all pages.
thirdly i want to catch the parameters being passed to the reports in some fields of this report but i dont know
how to do this. please give me a tip for the same...You can get the passed parameter value in AFTER-PARAMETER-FORM report trigger by just using the parameter name as below.
MyVariable:=:P_PARAMETER;-Ammad
