How to format measure descriptions

When using a matrix in Reporting Services to design a
report based on a cube, you are presented with a detail
column for your measure and a column to the left of that
for the description of the measure. My report has several
rows of measures that present (for example) both units
and dollars. I want to be able to leave a blank line
between the units section and the dollars section. I also
want to be able to place a heading for each section. The
preference is that the heading be off to the left rather
than above -- but i am not able to add a second
description column. So I placed text in the description
column to simulate the desired formatting.
For example:
Units Prod1
Prod2
Prod3
Total
Sales Prod1
Prod2
Prod3
Total
This approach looks fine in the designer. But when i
publish the report and view it in IE, all extra spaces
are gone (both horizontally and vertically) so the
descriptions look as below:
Units Prod1
Prod2
Prod3
Total
Sales Prod1
Prod2
Prod3
Total
Any suggestions on how to get a better presentation of
the descriptions?Try Using Padding ?
