Answer 1

I just tried this in VB 2005 exprss without any problem. I defined a multi line text box and placed some content in it hitting the enter button to add lines and adding black lines between to simulat paragraphs. Worked fine when I assigned the textbox.text to a label.

label1.text = textbox1.text

Edit:
Be aware that when copying between text boxes that the textbox doesn't auto size. So if you think you are missing information it may really be that the text box is only showing the first paragraph as it is only sized one paragraph high. Try stretching out the textbox2 height and you should see additional data. You can always use the lable for viewing and copy back into a textbox for editing.

Answer 2

try using only labels and place them together to get a fell that it is a single label but label's borders are invisible in run mode so will work fine or use several textbox and several labels
