Making a multi-line Label

[Nathan Sokalski]

I have a form that is laid out like the following:

------------
| | LABEL CONTROL
| IMAGE |
| |
_________

I want the Label control to be on multiple lines (I know exactly how many
and where the breaks will be) but stay contained in a rectangle. If I put BR
tags in the Text property, it does this in design view, but when I view it
in IE the second line wraps to below the IMAGE. In other words, I get:

------------
| | LABEL
| IMAGE | CONTROL
| |
_________

In Visual Studio .NET 2003's Design View, but I get:


------------
| | LABEL
| IMAGE |
| |
_________
CONTROL

In Internet Explorer 6.0. I want what Visual Studio .NET 2003's Design View
shows me. How do I get this? Is there some other control I have to use? I
realize I could use multiple Labels, but since the content is related, I
would like to try to avoid that if possible. Thanks.

I would use tables to control the layout.
