Too much space between names on each row

I have a long list of names that fill 1 page and 3
columns on that page, I would like to have it as if I had
typed it with typewriter, but everytime I try to shorted
the text box I cut off the bottom of the name. Is there
a way to have the names appear closer together in the
list??

Kind of an example of what I am try to say:

This is kinda how it appears:
Schmoe, Joe 3011

Schmoe, Mary 2000

When I would Like for it to be right under each other.
 
In design view of report, look at detail section.
Highlight the textboxes and drag them to the top of the
detail section. Then, pull the bottom of the detail
section up so that it is right under the textboxes.
 
Already did that, but it still has about a 2 millimeter
space between each name vs the 1 millimeter space on my
mom's MSWORD version(and believe me every millimeter
makes a diference in this report).

In addition to the suggestion in the other message, I
would select the label and textboxs in the detail section,
than from format menu select allign and top. Than from
the same format menu select size to fit.
now you can tighten things up even closer plus it makes
sure you do not cut the bottom of the letters off.
You can also set the can shrink property for the text
boxes to yes and the same for the detail band, this will
keep thing real neat.
Hope this helps.

Select your textboxes, click on properties, and change the
height to be smaller. This will give less whitespace
above and below the text.
 
Thank you.....Thank you.....I had tried it before, but I
must not have been greedy egnough because it went right
back to the original size.....

Thank you again!!!!
