Repeat a field value(text box) on each page or display value in header

How can I accomplish putting a data driven title on each page of a
report? Header errors say you can't put a field value in a header or
footer, so I tried(from another post) putting a text box in the body of
the report, making it white and setting another text box inthe header = to the value of the text box in the body(=ReportItems!textBox1.Value).
This works until you have a LARGE text field object on a report, whose
contents span multiple pages. Then subsequent pages do not display this
field, I guess because the original text box is out "range" once the
hidden data field is no longer being displayed. I don't have a table.
It's a single record report. I have a bunch of List objects with
textboxes organized on the layout.
Any ideas on how to solve?I have the same problem in SRS 2000. Any ideas on how to solve this would be
greatly appreciated!

on your report) inside a list box and set the textbox to "repeat item with
data area on each page" (although this is supposed to work ... I have had
problems with the "repeat" property). Might be worth a try ...
