Merging text within Crystal Reports

There is a ticket number example 71245
Within a ticket you have a comment field
As additional updates need to be added you can add additional comments..
Each comment filed is identified from first to last entered within a ticket as 1, 2, 3, 4...
Within each comment you may have multiple lines that are identifiesed as line1, line 2, line 3....Each line is limited to 80 characters. There are blanks at an end of an entry that take up the remaining characters within the 80 char line.

Longer entries take up additional lines..

I would like to merge the lines together so that the comment can be presented in a more acceptable way... I can get rid of the blank spaces and unnecessary carriage returns that Crystal presents at the end of an entry...
