I don't know if Param is a name, or a city, nor do I know what "fullname" has
to do with it... but you can set the Control Source property of a textbox to

=[Name] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [City]

to show Name on one line and City on the next line.

Note that Name is a bad choice of name for a field or control - *everything*
in Access has a Name property, and Access will get confused whether you mean
the value of the field whose Name is Name, or the Name of the textbox
containing Name... and if you think this sentence is confusing, you're right!

You should certainly have your names and addresses broken down into separate
fields: [Title], [Surname], [Forename], [Address], [City], [Postcode] for
example. You can create a Report with textboxes; for example you could get the
above with four textboxes with control sources

= [Title] & " " & [forename] & " " & [Surname]
= [Address] <<< or you might split addess up further
= [City]
= [Postcode]

You could get the initial using

= Left([Forename], 1) & ". " & [Surname]

to display

Access doesn't have any builtin ability to display some text and not other
text in a single textbox. You can either use separate textboxes, or a "Rich
Text Format" control.
