Hi Susan,
Try the reverse. Make the fields the sizes you want and set the footer
to the 1.5" height. Then set all of their Can Shrink values to Yes,
including the page footer's. On pages greater than 1 make sure their values
are all set to null; then they should shrink. Don't bother with the visible
setting unless you are using field borders.
