Can I Overlay Rows in a Table?

I've created a table with two group header rows and a detail row. I would
like the second group header to 'overlap with' the detail row when the
report prints. Is this possible? And if so, how do I go about
accomplishing this?
Thanks!Very good question. I'm curious as to how to do this too. Sorry this
isn't a helpful response, but hopefully others see this thread who can
answer it and know there's an interest.

Below is the best I can do with a textual visualization:
[Group Header #1]
[Group Header #2] Detail
Detail
Detail|||Thanks BYU,
That sounds like an approach. My second group header contains a memo field
with a lot of word-wrapping. My hope was that it would 'overlay' however
many detail lines it wraps out to. I believe with your suggestion I would
get a large space between my first detail row and my second row.
My crude illustration of what I am after:
[Group Header #1]
[Group Header #2 [Detail Row 1]
that could potentially [Detail Row 2]
wrap to multiple lines of [Detail Row 3]
text] [Detail Row 4]
[Detail Row 5]
[Group Header #1]
Your solution as I understand it:
[Group Header #1]
[Group Header #2 [Detail Row 1]
that could potentially
wrap to multiple lines of
text]
[Detail Row 2]
[Detail Row 3]
[Detail Row 4]
[Detail Row 5]
[Group Header #1]
