Default Create table with upper left title cell, then text to the right that wraps underneath the title

In simplest terms, I have a table like this:





I want the three "value" cells to be one cell of text so that I can enter a label, then enter a text value that wraps to the right and below the label.

A more fleshed-out example is this:



In an ideal world, I would just merge the three cells in question, but it seems I can't.

A cheap solution is to enter the label as highlighted text and do both label and value all in one cell, but that doesn't offer the flexibility I'm looking for.

Is there any solution to this? Are tables the wrong approach, and if so, what's the right one?

Just saw your post. I "sort of" achieved the wrap effect by putting a second one-cell table inside the first table (see top of img).

To make it wrap, select the inner table, then right-click, go to properties, and change the text wrapping (bottom of img).



Actually... As I'm posting this, I just tried it with a Textbox inside (rather than a second table). It looks nicer. (note layout settings)
