I'm working on a prototype of a table where each "logical" row has two very small pieces of information, and one big one. The two small pieces are just a name and an email address. The big piece is an embedded calendar.

I previously struggled with trying to have multiple cells in the first column, each with a header cell. I am unable to make it look reasonable, so I decided to try merging the cells in that column, resulting in going back to a one-to-one relationship between logical rows and physical rows.

The "TwoLogicalRows" image is the image on the edit screen of my current prototype.

I then drag-selected the four cells directly below the "Lab Name" header and clicked "Merge table cells".

This produced a very unexpected and messed-up result, which is reflected by the "AfterMerging..." image. I have no idea what to do with that. I just discarded the changes at that point. I am still unable to produce the result that I'm looking for. I imagine my workaround will be to delete almost everything and start over.
