I am using SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 (though this seems to be an issue for me in 2005 also). I have a report that has one page per customer (i.e. paged on customerId). The odd thing I'm seeing is that the first report (i.e. first page of the report) has a bit of extra white space at the top than the other pages. In general this seems to occur when you have a title for the report and paging (so that the first page has the title, but each successive page does not). The report I'm dealing with does not have a title like that, but still has this extra white space.
What I'm wondering is how do I prevent that extra white space on this first page of the report. How do I make each page of the report identical?
I do not have a header or footer applied to the report either.

I've just found the problem i had with extra space on first page.
In my case, the report has a header (with a textbox inside) and in the body a table. The problem was that on first page (printed from the app) appeared a little space between the header and the table on the body. Well, apart from that the result was perfect. But when exporting to Excel, first page only showed header, the rest of the pages looked perfect.
The solution: when you add a table (at least in the body), this table has automatically header and footer. I wasn't using header nor footer so i've removed them (first file and last file of the table) and voilá =-D
that's all.
