I would like to know if is there a way in SSRS 2005 to add indentation to a textbox and make it render correctly in PDF report.

I'd like the paragraph in PDF to appear this way:

    We don't run Stack Overflow. You do. Stack Overflow is collaboratively built and maintained by your fellow programmers. Once the system learns to trust you, you'll be able to edit anything, much like Wikipedia. With your help, we can build good answers to every imaginable programming question together. No matter what programming language you use, or what operating system you call home -- better programming is our goal.

I tried using the following:

= vbTab & First(Fields!MyTextField.Value, "MyData")

= "      " & First(Fields!MyTextField.Value, "MyData")

I also tried using Alt+0160 "non-breaking space" trick for the second example - in all cases report renders correctly in Visual Studio but all indentations are lost after converting report to PDF format.
