Hi Burg,
Ideally, the table should be formatted so that its layout will be the same for all merged records. For your problem cell, this could
be done by widening the column, and/or by reducing the internal cell margin. You could also try setting the 'fit text' property for
the cell but, whilst that might result in long strings being compressed to fit on one line, it can also result in short strings
being overly stretched.
