Hello,
This sounds like a problem which I have met before, and after a day of stripping the report down I found the following solution which has worked for me a number of times since:

Create a text field at the top of the first page (where the text should appear on subsequent pages if properly aligned), just type 'testing' for example. Set the vertical elasticity property to 'Expand'.

I know it sounds crazy but try it. If it works then you can change the text to a number of spaces etc to hide it, or make it into a useful heading, heck its reports, you have to improvise a lot!!!
