How to add a page to reports?

Wondering if you could help me with this, in Report Designer, I am trying to insert a full text page at the end of the invoice when I print. For example, when I print the invoice, there will be 2 pages, the first page will be all the detail of the accounts & figures, the second page will be a "warranty page" stating all the terms of sales.

Thank you in advance, any input will be very much appreciated.

my report designer version is 1.4.2013.27.

Sage 50 Accounts Professional 2014 (ver: 20.04.09.364)

Cheers. :)

You could add section in a footer with the "align to bottom" set but i think you would also need to "allow overlap" so as previous pages didn't leave a gap even then it would not be a whole page, but just a section.

I really have no better ideas. Why not just print a stack of them off and add them in as you go?

There is a "Page" section heading in the designer, but never seen anything other than Page1

If you are emailing, then it is easy, you just add terms and conditions as an attachment in email settings.

Hi Bruce,

Thank you very much for your reply, I have got it. Here's how just in case anyone else is looking for a way to do the same.

On Report Designer, like Bruce said, "add section" -> "group header and footer" (note here, it has to be "Group") -> just add any argument to the filter -> click on the 'new header' and hide it -> click on the 'existing' footer and make sure both 'add page break after this' and 'align to bottom' are set to true -> click on the 'new footer' and change 'allow overlap' (not sure what it does, but I turn it on).

There you go, then you can add a text box in the 'new footer'.

Again, thank you Bruce. Couldn't have done it without you. :)

I followed the above to help me add a 2nd page to by sage invoice however when I am inserting the text box under the footer the 2nd page is only printing a small part of the text which is the text box viewed (the report designer still shows the page 1 only)

How can I expand the text box to the full size of the 2nd page to print our t&c's onto the back of the invoice?

thanks in advance
Claire

You can not add second pages.
