---to do this: I put "dummy rows" around the "12W" row--"dummy rows" have
all the cells empty--and then just deleted the "separator rows"---took less
than a minute.

A little Ck Cy magic---and good old <Tab> key.

As far as the TeX ideas; making it display as a multiline cell in
export--thats a great idea too, I've made o-ton-o LaTeX tables--once you do
this process Bastien suggests, you could probably write a simple program to
munge the .tex file and then reuse the same method over and over.  TeX is
great at displaying multiline text---its the best for that---regardless of
the font.
