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.

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).
