[EmData] Page beginnings with flow

[Stuart Harding]

Thanks, I'll give the headers and footers bit a go.

The "continued price list" part is simply where the price list flows  
uninterrupted to the next page without being separated by a header  
reminder of the section. ie. where there are 60 items in the "patello  
casting" section and it splits over two pages, the "patello casting"  
heading has historically been added after the event to the second page.

I should be able to get it working and if not, I'll be back :-)

Cheers
