  Try using a vertical headerband

  Thanks Gordk,
  I put one on the page but, depending upon where I put it and where I placed a memo inside it I either got nothing shown at all or got an error 'Unconnected header2"
  How do you use vertical header bands?
  (I did search the user guide but it does not seem to mention vertical bands at all.)

  there is nothing about vertical bands except the the oldstyle crosstab demo report in the main demo
  and something in the usermanual IIRC,
  but this may suit your needs better, if the vertical memo is always in the same place on the output page use an overlay band
  place the vertical memo in the overlay and set its rotation to suit.
  use large height in design mode and place the overlay band after all other bands on the page or it gets nessy when designing.
  the over lay is a bit of a miss nomer it is more like an underlay.
  the over lay band is processed first and the top of the overlay corresponds to the top of the page.
