Is there a way to wrap text in a cell/grid Note entry in a Narrative Reporting report?

We are using Notes to capture monthly commentary (as well as quarterly and annual notes references to the Financial Statements).

For monthly, rather than one tiny space per balance sheet or income statement line (ie a space beside AR or Sales), we've been asked for a larger, free-form space for the user to type in their "story" of the period. We want to keep it on one page and want to keep the functionality of it being tied to the system/POV and being able to refer to it and pull it later.

This would work perfectly in our existing report if I could simply merge the cells in the column (per below), the user could simply hit the edit pencil as before (this time only once rather than for each line) and type their summary.
