OO ALV grid with a header line is this possible?

Question

Howdy!
I have a requirement where I need to produce an ALV grid with the following format:
<b>Text 1     Text 2  Text 3                  Text 4
                          Text 6
Col_1 Col_2 Col_3 Col_4 Col_5 Col_6 Col_7 Col_8 Col_9 
Cell conents -
Cell conents -
Cell conents -
Cell conents -
Cell conents -
</b>
Anyone got any idea on how to get the 'TEXT' fields into the ALV grid? These are dynamic texts that would basically display details of data entered in the selection screen.
The ALV title line is limited to 70 characters and I can't think of another way of doing this.
The texts need to appear on the ALV grid becasue the user would like to download them to Excel in addition to the ALV cell contents using the standard ALV functionality.
Any ideas would be appreciated!

I'm thinking that this may not work because it is not a full screen grid and the grid container does not care about the container on top of it so, it most likely would not print it.   Implement this example program, you can see how this would work for you if you were using the FM.
