Scrunched up text box

I dropped a text box into my report and have added several database fields and some text to it. When I click off the field or generate the report that text box has scrunched up all the fields/characters so that you can't read them and it looks like a big blob....

Does anyone know why this happens and if I can fix it?

Thanks in advance.
 
After dropping a database field into the text box, place a space after that field before dropping in your next data base field into the text box.

You can then stretch the text box field to how long you want it and you can format the field to have it grow to how many lines you will need if you need it to grow vertically as well as horizontally.
 
Unfortunately, that is not the issue with this. It's like it's bunching the fields in the text box all together. The text box is plenty big to display the data.

Thanks though....
