How do i generate an impromptu report such that it starts with the name on a fresh page ?

ie. eg i am running a report call " Customer Rep Responsibilities"
So i have pg 1 -5 with all the data continuously.
how do i segregate them such that when there is a new customer name, it will automatically be push to a new page ?
eg. pg 1 and 2 belongs to cust rep A, then page 3 cust rep B, and page 4-5 cust rep C etc.

Hope I describe my problem clearly. i believe it shld be pretty easy just that I can rem where i shld click.

ariqe,

It sounds like you want to set a page break on the Customer Name.Ã,  First you need to make sure the Customer Name or what ever you want to break on is grouped.Ã,  Once grouped, you need to be in page layout.Ã,  Select any field on your report and select it's parent until you have the Primary List Frame highlighted.Ã,  Go to the properties of the Primary List Frame and then the Layout tab.Ã,  If you have more than one header find the header you want to break on.Ã,  The farthest icon to the right should be Page Break Before: Off.Ã,  Click on this once to turn it on and either click okay or select another option, such as reseting the page number on the break.

Hope that helps!
