Help with page layout

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to design a page with a table layout having different number of rows in 2 columns:
Line 1: ____ City: ____
Line 2: ____ State: ___
Line 3: ____ Country: _____
<no data here> Postal Code: ______
I have tried using rowLayout ->
|_ CellFormat
|_MessageComponentLayout (for the Line1, Line2 and Line3) (1 column, 4 rows)
|_ CellFormat
|_MessageComponentLayout (for CIty, State, Country etc.) (1 column, 4 rows)
But this is not gettig aligned properly. The first cell is just 3 rows wide and 2 is 4 rows, so there are emplty spaces. How can we best design this?
I have to design another layout with 3 and 5 rows in 2 columns.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ashish

Hi Reetesh,
For the first region I was able to add a MessageLayout region to MessageComponentLayout and add a space item to MessageLayout. It works fine.
However, I have another region where I need to display 3 fields in column1 and 6 fields in column2. I tried the same approach by adding 3 spacer Items to MessageLayout (beneath the 3rd field). But this is not working.
The layout for this region (part of the main table) is:
rowLayout
--- Cellformat
-------Region (Header)
----------MessageComponentLayout
-------------field1 (messageTextInput)
-------------field3 (messageTextInput)
-------------messageLayout
----------------spacer1
----------------spacer2
----------------spacer3
-------------field4(messageTextInput)
-------------field5(messageTextInput)
-------------field6(messageTextInput)
-------------field7(messageTextInput)
-------------field8(messageTextInput)
-------------field9(messageTextInput)
I want to display it as:
field1 field4
field2 field5
field3 field6
<empty> field7
<empty> field8
<empty> field9
Sorry to bother you with this, but if you can suggest anything, it would be great.
Thanks,
Ashish
