So, it's unavoidable? If again I understand correctly, with this document where unlike my other documents I only put one report per page, I could get away with removing this field? But doing so now tries to squeeze multiple reports on a page and they end up broken, now.

And (thinking this should maybe be a new post) I have a field in the footer of all my mail merge documents ... Page {PAGE} of {NUMPAGES} . It doesn't want to populate. I've deleted it, and rebuilt it, copied it to text then again converted to fields with the same results. Thoughts?
