Shifting memos sideway?

hsm

I have three memos on the same line in detail band.
The left hand one contains fixed text and the other two contain string data from my database. The first two are in bold.
ie (the {} represent the memos)

{Assigned to} {[dataset.AssignedStaffName]:} {[dataset.AssignedDate]}

I'd like to shift the {[dataset.AssignedDate]} memo leftwards depending upon then length of {[dataset.AssignedStaffname]} so that it always looks nice

ie instead of...
