Format Table Appearance

I have produced a report with an "equal to" condition. This means that two table fields are repeated in every row of the report table.

e.g.Status Status Desc. Make Model
1 Live Car BMW
1 Live Van VW
1 Live Car AUDI


To avoid duplication I concatenated the status and status desc. columns and set them as a master to form a global table (table 1) to show the repeated fields of status and status desc.

This followed by the remaining table (table 2) contents.

Make Model etc.

My problem is that on page 1, table 1's appearance is formatted horizontal position relative "upper section" 2 left and vertical position "upper section" 5 from top. This looks great.

E.G. XXXXXX
XXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

However as soon as table 2 goes on to page two the vertical postioning disappears and the two tables look joined.

E.G. XXXXXX
XXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Is there anyway of avoiding this.

Apologies for the length of this question.
