Dennis,
My guess is that you have "Snap to Grid" set on. You can change this from the Format menu. Turn that off and then you should be able to change the height of the object pixel by pixel.

>The memo field in question is a comment field for an inventory item. The comment may be omitted or long, as normal for a memo field. I have set it up as a single line on the report, with "stretch on overflow" checked. That works fine, but with the excessinve "leading."

I could not get shift-downarrow to do anything. And the properties of a report object does not give you the full set of object properties as on a form/(screen).
