Can't move footer bar in report

I have a report that I want to make work like a "continuous" form. I have
other reports where this seems to be accomplished by moving the footer bar
up close to the detail bar, so there's only room for one line (but I'm not
sure, because that report doesn't actually run.) The problem is I can't
move the footer bar in this report. I can grap it and appear to move it (a
line appears and moves up with the mouse), but when I let go, the footer bar
hasn't moved. I am able to move the footer bar in the two other reports I
have. I'vfe removed the page header/footer and replaced. That doesn't
help.

1) Is this the correct way to get the "continuous forms" appearance?
2) Any idea why I can move the footer bar in some reports, but not in
others?
 
Well, I discovered the answer to both questions...
1) There was a horizontal line exactly along the top of the footer bar. I
only stumbled upon it by trying to grab the footer bar in different places.
When I removed it, it worked as expected.
2) The answer to how to mimic "continuous forms" seems to be "no," not by
moving up the footer bar. It seems like it ought to be "can shrink/can
grow". But that doesn't work either. I'm posting that question separately.
