Larry It's sounding more and more like you need to produce this report with code, where you can control every line, page ejection, etc.
I've been trying to figure out how you could have a counter variable that would reset once per COPY of each page, then you could print the appropriate text on the appropriate copy. All the ways I can think of would involve a variable reset at a page break, but that won't help you - it's all the same page, but printed 3 times: well, the same page EXCEPT for the text about the copy!!
