Controlling the "leading" in memo fields is a bit tricky, to say the least. There is not specific setting that you can change. However, once you understand how VFP internally calculates you can play with it to try to get the results you want.
What VFP does is look at the height of the object you placed on the report. Then it figures out how many full lines of text would fit within that height. Then it takes the left over space and equally distributes it between the lines. If you define the object with exactly two lines of space, you'll get the normal leading. If you shrink the object so it's only 1-1/2 lines tall, you'll actually get MORE leading, because it figures that only one line fits .. then uses the extra 1/2 line as the leading between lines.
So to answer your question .. play around with the height of the object, a few pixels at a time, and you'll get different leading.
