Column Headings on Matrix

Hi everyone, this may be a very stupid question or a stupid way of doing
things, but I have a report in a matrix in the following format:
--Year
--Month
Customer--Part--Currency--=Sum(Amount)
The problem I'm having is that above the columns, there is one textbox
merged across all 3 columns and across both rows, but no column headings
appear. Is there anyway to have column headings? We've experimented with
adding a table inside that merged textbox and adding static headings into it,
but this table will not export into Excel.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Instead of a table, try a rectangle. You can manually place textboxes
inside the rectangle. (Not as convenient as a table, but it should work
with the Excel renderer).

column heading is missing on some pdf rendered pages

I am new to RS so this might be a stupid question. Since the page header
can't have table, I have placed the table in the body as table group header.
The table contains column heading for my report. The report produces over a
hundred pages of PDF files. As I scroll through the PDF pages I noticed that
on some pages the column heading is missing. Does anyone know why or is there
a better way to do this?
Thanks,
TimThis might not be the right answer, but my impression is that where pages
break in the web report, and in the PDF exported report, are two different
things. I noticed it when I added a footer with a line to a report. THis
line would show up at the end of each page in the web report, and totally
randomly in the PDF report. And there would be a lot more text on each page
in the web report, than in the PDF. At least this goes for reports with 8pt
font and landscape view.
Try to check if what you see on each page in the PDF corresponds with what
you see in your web report.

know why it does that.
