"my name is " + trim({table.field1}) + " " + trim({table.field2} + " from "....
 
create a formula with the above and only populate 1 text box.
 
There is basically no way to resize and move a textbox...just not that dynamic.
 
The spaces are the extra room in the textbox, isn't?  If so, yeah, you can't move it....well you could move, but you don't know how 'big' to make it as there are no facilities to determine the width of the word.
 
Sorry couldn't be more help

you can create a formula, place the code in it.
 
then you can drag the formula onto the report and have it replace your 4 textboxes.

while you can do that in a textbox, you can' t do that via a formula (at least not that I have seen...or been able to accomplish)
 
you could split it up into separate textboxes, but then you are back where you started :(

Put a text box on the report.  Start typing the first part.  Drag the field that you need for the first block into the text box, typed the next set of text, drag the next field into the box, etc. until you have your whole text block built.  Now select the first field in the text box and click on the Bold button.  Do the same for anything else that needs to be bold.

Note: Crystal should automatically trim the fields that you drag into the text box.
