I am trying to force a page break in an RTF document using `startpage=now` but am getting weird results. The page break happens, but the title of the page doesn't change and the footer is in a different place. If I don't force the page break then the titles and footers are correct, but the output doesn't display as I'd expect. Please advise.

My code:

/******** RTF ********/
ods rtf file="&path.\Rules Committee Report\rules_committee_football.rtf";
goptions reset=all; 

/* cover page */
title j=r color=white bcolor=&Dblue height=10pt font='Arial' "^\line NCAA Football Rules Committee Report ^\tab ^\line";
ods rtf text="^S={outputwidth=100% just=c fontfamily='Arial' font_size=14pt foreground=&Dblue}^\line NCAA Football Rules Committee Meeting ^\line Injury Surveillance Report ^\line"; 
footnote j=c color=white bcolor=&Dblue height=8pt font='Arial' 
	"^\line Datalys Center | 401 West Michigan Street, Suite 500 | Indianapolis, Indiana 46202 | 855-832-4222 ^\line";

proc report data=imagelist noheader nofs
		style={frame=void rules=none
		protectspecialchars=off};
	define list /style={cellwidth=3.5in} center;
	define words / style={cellwidth=3.5in fontfamily='Arial' font_size=11pt} left;
run;

ods rtf startpage=now;

title j=c "^S={preimage='C:/Users/Todd/Dropbox/Datalys/Rules Committee Report/isp_logo_small.png'}";
proc odstext;
	...;
run;

/* close rtf */
ods rtf close;
ods html;
/**** end rtf report ****/

Result:

Result without `ods rtf startpage=now`:
