Isolated rows within a single cell?

I know that you can't actually change the cell height in different
cells across a row, but I'm hoping there is a work-around. I am trying
to produce a spreadsheet that will look like the following:

A B C D
______________________________________________________________
| |Option #1 |_____[Value]___|[Comments] |
| |Option #2 |_______________|[over multiple]|
1 |[Picture] |Option #3 |_______________|[lines] |
| | |_______________| |
|____________|_______________|_______________|_______________|


The position of (C) could be next to any (but only one) of the options
in (B). The application is for a service technician to enter the values
quickly without having to do any formatting for position or color; point
next to the option in (B) and type.

The size of (A) and (D) cannot change as the form needs to be easily
printable on a standard 8.5 x 11 page.

Worst-case option would be to make a text box for each value
postion... but that's multiple boxes in 20 cells... Not an appealing
prospect!

Any ideas?
 
Sorry. I used tabs and the formatting broke on review... here's a
"spaced" version incase the same thing happens to anyone else!
