Single Spaced Lines

Using the report wizard and a predefined query, I was hoping to have a report to list a product database. I can only seem to get double spaced lines however. I'd also like to switch to compressed print to maximize page content. Does anyone have any sug
gestions of settings or resources to stray from the wizard? I am beginning to remember why I have always stayed with streaming output!
Thanks,
JM

The font setting is a property of each text or text lable control.
The vertial spacing is determined by the top property setting for each
control and the render height. For example, if using inches as the
metric and you place each detail band control at top 0.25", then the
spacing between controls would generally be 0.25". To increase or
decrease that spacing, change the top property for all controls. You
also have to watch the render height of each control. If the font size
would render a height of 0.20" but you have the controls height set to
0.50", then the spacing would be the top of 0.25" plus the 0.50" for a
total of 0.75".
Generally, for text controls I set varialbeHeight = true and height = 0.
Ensure that all controls in a horizontal row have the same top setting.

In addition to Todd's suggestions, check to see if any fields are
wrapping. I get this frequently with the wizard.
Changing the text for character fields to include a trim() will help
with character fields.
Changing numeric displays to include transform() to force a shorter
length helps with those.
Also, verify the streamed order of the textfields. I've found that, if
they get out of order, it's really difficult to line them up correctly.
