Exporting reports to excel - extra lines added and footer showing up in the middle?

SUGGESTED

When I export a report to excel, if the details of the report are not very long then the footer of the Report Form shows up in the middle of the data and overwrites the line.  

If there is a lot of data, then I get three blank lines in the middle of the report instead.  

Is there any fix to this?  I can live with the blank lines, but the overwriting of the data is tedious to fix each time.

I've checked the Report Detailed Area box on the Form Design, and it definitely does not overlap the footer I have set up on that page.  I've tried adding extra "total" lines to my report data but that does not help either.

The highlighted yellow below are the report footers that should show up BELOW the Total Line.   The Report and User lines actually overwrite data, but the Vendor 2 line just uses the formatting (bold) of the footer.
