there must be something in the detail section that is preventing you to resize the height..<br />
<br />
try this,<br />
place your mouse on the left ruler just below the 2 inch marker and drag it just above the Page Footer, then press delete<br />
now try to adjust the height<br />

I created a report to print a directory from my address table/query.  I want the records to be listed one after another without much space in between.  As you can see in the attached screenshot, there are over 2 inches of extra space between the last displayed object and the end of the Detail section.  But, I can't close that space.  I've tried to drag the section's bottom handle up, but it always goes back to the displayed setting.  I tried to change the 4.6563" Height property in the Property window.  But, the number always reverts to 4.6563".  How do I change this?  Is there some other setting or object that is possible preventing me from editing this.

there must be something in the detail section that is preventing you to resize the height..
