Yes, InfoPath does not make such things easy. However, I added the following to both the header and footer (IP07) and it appears that all lines of text showed successfully in the print preview.

Hi,

While designing an InfoPath form you can make use of table. Add rows and columns as per your requirement and then put controls in cell.

For having some note at the bottom of the page as per your requirement, you can insert a section in the bottom row of the table that will dislplay your notice at the bottom of your form every time.

hope this may help you.

Need to find work around to lock a section in place

I have been working on a form for some time now and the solution continues to elude me. My form is exactly perfect except for the legal disclaimer that I need at the bottom of the page. I have read on many posts that InfoPath (2003 and 2007) does not allow graphics to be placed in footers. It apparently also allows only a short amount of text to be placed in the footer (and everyone knows legal disclaimers aren't typically short). When I put in a section containing either the graphic or just text I can't find a way to "glue" it in place so that it doesn't float around when the form is being filled out.

My question is this: Is there a way to lock a section to a certain spot on the page?

Thx - Kathy
