Adjust vertical dimensions of text box without scaling text

[nrschmid]

I have a single-line text box. I want to get rid of the white space underneath and on top of the text without scaling the text. I can do it horizontally but not vertically. Any ideas?

Can you give some more details? Are you working in Flash? If it's a singles-line, what difference does the leading make?

...regardless, this is probably the wrong forum
