[AccessD] Columns with composite data

Just curious if anyone has done this before.
I created a report with four columns.  The columns run down, then across.
The fourth column of page 3 is about half way down the page in length.
Is it possible to use the remainder of the column space for a composite data?
E.g. total number of records or something similar.
If put in the Report footer, a new page is generated.
I currently put such information in the Report Header.

Thanks,

Jim
