    You cannot format the text string - you have to format the placeholder or text box.  You will need 2 separate placeholder/text boxes to accomplish this task - and then you can format one of those with bold/underline and the other without.

    I have no idea how your report is setup - if you are using a matrix, your own layout with a blank report, etc.
    But with a text box, stand alone or part of a matrix, you can right click the text box, select properties and then go to Font. Set style bold and effects to underline.
    I have no idea what you mean with putting a new line in an expression. If this is a matrix, you can right click on a row and insert a row above or below. In some cases, you can also just use a blank text box across the report
