Adding weight to an invoice

I'd like to add weight to an invoice. I'm new to the report editing procedure so if anyone could point me in the direction of some useful reading material I'd be most grateful. Excuse any incorrect terminology...

So far I've added the field STOCK.UNIT_WEIGHT into the details line but nothing is printed. I think I may have to join some tables together to retrieve the UNIT_WEIGHT value from the STOCK table, I checked the joins and there already seems to be a join from one field in the STOCK table to SOP table. Do I have to make another join to obtain the Weight field?

There are 2 details lines.

The other one is the "ITEM_NUMBER Footer"

There are 2 types of product in Sage, Service Items which have big long verbose paragraphs of text stored in the field called "TEXT" and there are service items that have one 60 chard field called "DESCRIPTION"

Each section "DETAILS" and "LINE_NUMBER Footer" have a conditional formatting expressions that stop them printing unless the items is a "Service" item or a "Product" item.

I suspect you have only put it in one and not the other.
