If the last item comes at the very foot of the page, and the page =20
breaks with only the lastfoot to display, is there any logic to =20
prevent the head being shown at the top of the next page?

I have not used your template verbatim - although it is quite =20
beautiful, it is not quite my style of formatting, so I started again =20=

from scratch and have used yours only for reference.

I have found one of my invoices has two pages.
On the first is:

   Part Description Price Quantity Amount
   101  Fangle      =A31    3        =A33
   237  Wonkle      =A32    1        =A32
   ...
   093  Chocolate   =A30.5  3        =A31.5

and on the second is only:

   Part Description Price Quantity Amount
                          Total    =A36.5

(I have laid out these examples so they make sense if viewed in a =20
fixed-width font).

I have been so impressed by your responses to my recent questions =20
that I cannot believe that you have missed this, yet I cannot quickly =20=

see how you have solved this problem regarding invoices of a certain =20
length.
