I simply removed all the cells except the top one, then applied a right tab-stop and inserted as many tabs & line breaks as were required to fill the cell and formatted them with a dotted underline. Plus I gave the cell a fixed height. Now when you start typing, the tab gradually gets pushed output the way and, when you pass the end of a line, the original content all gets pushed down one line. It's still there, but not visible.
