As Harry implied, this is a job for templates and scripts. The template
would set the overall layout and the scripts would fill the cells from the
whatever source you use.

Your other option is to use a more capable Word Processor than EPM. Both
Describe and WordPro have the fine grained control you are looking for.

You do the equivalent of this in Mesa by setting the cell height and the
veritical alignment.
