Customer name and address too spaced apart

I am using report builder 2.0. The parameter is set so that a customer can be selected and it will display their address block and some other information. This works, but the name, address, city, state and zip are dramatically spaced apart. 

It was recommended that I put it all in a rectangle. I tried putting it all within an inserted rectangle. No luck. Still very spaced apart.  

I tried putting it all in a text box too:

But that resulted in this error. 

Please help! It looks really unprofessional.
