Why is report footer forcing a new page in base?

I am using LO 4.0 Report Builder and my report footer is forcing a new page… despite checking all the settings to be sure that no properties are saying to force a new page. The report footer holds my invoice total, I cannot have this on a separate page. Any suggestions anyone?

Wow, I answered it myself quicker than usual…
So what I did was compare it to another report that did work and the only difference was that I made the Report Header NOT visible on the one that forced a new page for the Report Footer. In neither report does the Report Header contain anything, in both reports the Report Footer contains summary information. For some strange reason if the Report Header is not visible it forces a new page for the Report Footer. Go figure. Anyway, problem solved, if anyone has any feedback I would still like to hear why this is. Cheers.
