A. Images are placed on the pages with a "writeattab" statement. The top of every page is controlled by the "paper.everypage" statement. The following code should work.

   paper.clear;
   paper.everypage;         //writing for the top of every page
   Title.Writeattab('This is a big title',1);  // Title on left
   Image.writeattab(2);     // Image at the write hand side
   Title.writeln;
   paper.thispage;          // writing the report body
   etc etc.

   paper.clear
   paper.thispage;
   Title.write('This is at the top of just the first page');
   paper.otherpages
   Title.write('This is at the top of all the other pages');
   paper.thispage;
   ....  report body
