Default Pictures in a Table - Darn, not better in Word 2007

Text that would otherwise be behind the picture in cells.... is it your
desire to wedge the picture in the table, forcing the table to bulge out to
the right and/or left in order that column widths are maintained? Or do you
envision centering the picture across two partial colulmns thereby forcing
text in each to wrap around the picture, maintaining the column placement but
increasing the vertical width of the rows as required? I think each effect
could certainly be simulated, but in the end the picture would occupy the
space of one cell or group of merged cells.

I was looking forward to Word 2007 anticipating that it would handle the
insertion of pictures better in a table. I want to put a picture in a table
so that it spans columns and rows and have it wrap the text in the cells
around it. But, it still insists on inserting the picture in a cell, not
across cells.

Anyone have any ideas how I might get this functionality to work in Word 2007?

Thanks!
