My formula text field does not recognize any spacing

I've created a formula text field to change the font color of another field (formula below).  Special Notes is the field I enter the information into and Special Notes Text is the formula field that pulls the text from the Special Notes field. 

"<span style=\"color:red\">"& [Special Notes]&"</span>"

It is working for the font color however none of the spacing, returns, etc. that I enter into the field are showing up when I view the field on a report.  Is there something I can add to my formula to keep the spacing or another formula I should be using that will do both?  Below is an example of what I'm experiencing.  Any help is appreciated!

    Two things you might try.
    (1) confirm they are both 'rich text' type fields
    and 
    (2) try using a <div as opposed to a <span
