List Property - can grow/can shrink

I'm trying to generate a report that will simulate Avery Standard form 5388 - a basic 3 x 5 index card.

I'm using a list and a table to generate the output. Basically I have the list sized at exactly 3 x 5. I'm limiting my rows to be returned to 5 rows so that the table does not grow too large, and I'm using the Page Header to handle the top space, and have placed the list/table regions within the body region to handle the left margin.

The problem I'm having is to have the list print exactly 3x5...I would like to make sure that the list ALWAYS maintains this size - no growing or shrinking;however the list does not have this property that I can see.

I'm currently working in RS2000...can it be done in either 2000 or is this something that 2005 can only handle.

I figured it out...I placed a 3x5 rectangle inside the 3x5 list data region. Seems to be working.
