Row Height Reduction
 

I would like to reduce the height of a row and surrounding box. The default appears to perfectly match 12 point text. If I increase the font size of my text, the row height and surrounding box increase to match the text. If I reduce the size of the text below 12, the box does not shrink. I've also tried adjusting spacing with no luck. My goal is to fit a lot of rows (not just lines of text within a row) on one outline.
Thanks for any suggestions!
