Text box is ignoring space,Tab, Enter characters

I'm pulling a Note field from my database (datatype varchar, 8000) and the Textbox on my report ignores the multiple spaces or tabs or Enter.  All the characters get crushed together, making it hard to read.   Can I format the text box to include the multiple space or Tab characters?   If I put an Enter (carrige return) into the text it gets ignored completly in SSRS.

Example

SQL Query Analyzer shows  

First note text (space,space,space) More note text (space,space,space) Still more note text

SSRS Report shows

First note text (space) More note text (space) Still more note text
