Row output spanning across several rows

All,
I'm sure that many of you'll will have come across this issue earlier. As
you're aware RS does not allow for merging of vertical cells. I need help
with working around this to design a layout as below:
---
| D1 | D2 | |
D3 | D4 | D6 | D6 |
| D7 | D8 | |
---
Whats happening currently is, d3 and d6 being huge text fields, its
expanding that row (d4-d6) and the report looks wierd! If only I had the row
merge feature like in Excel it would have been great. Is a work around for
this so that we can replicate the desired output (get d3 and d6 output
stretched across three rows)?So much for expecting getting a response. Anyway so I got this resolved. The
trick is to convert (d1,d4,d7) and (d2,d6,d8) into two subreports and put
them in a single row with d3 and d6 as below:
d3 | SubRep1 | SubRep2 | d6
Hope this helps others out there.
Best regards,
