Problem forming report to fit into preformed formulary

I have some trouble setting the size of the footer section and the details
section.
My header section contains order information (i.e. name, adress etc). The
details section contains order information (i.e. date, price, etc). The
footer section contains a summary of the prices.

This report are being printed on a preformed formulary. The fields formed in
the footer section have to fit into spaces on this formulary. The problem
apears when the details section contains several posts and then displaces the
footer section further down the page.

Is it possible to set a standard size of the details section, or is it
possible to lock the footer section so that it won't displace independent of
the emerging details section?

What footer?
The Report Footer always prints immediately after the last detail
record.
The Page footer always prints in the same position at the bottom of
the page.
Show whatever you want in the Page Footer and it will always be in the
same position.

I'm using the group footer. It's named "Footer for customerID" in my
project, because the report is based upon a query in witch "customerID" is
the main sorting field. I have to use this group footer because I want to
calculate the sum of the posts listed in the details section, and have those
calculated controls to fit into a preformed formulary on printout.
When the details section contains more than one post, it will displace the
group footer section, and then accordingly the final result won't fit into
the preformed formulary.
