Default Wall type block diagram.

Hi there



I'm trying to create an Office document where I can create a 'wall' of content separated by rows. Basically, it's a diagram similar to the SmartArt Basic Block Diagram.

There's an example of what I'm trying to achieve here.

So I've made a good start. I created a simple table with horizontal grid lines visible.. Next I created SmartArt. But the problem I'm having is is making the brick effect. I tried to re-create this using SmartArt in Word but every time I move the 'blocks', one of the other blocks I set earlier changes size and shape. So its impossible to create a brick wall effect. I've been at it for hours setting the height manually etc.

Does anyone know which tool or feature would be good to re-create this effect? It might be another product other than word.
