tables

I've been struggling some time now with a specific problem using Tables in MS Word (2010).

I have a table with 2 rows and 2 columns and the last column, the rows are merged. Now it can happen that this last cell will expand, and I would like to have the last row in the first column to be of a fixed height and the first row has to expand.

What happens now is that the last row expands and the first row has a "fixed" height. A picture of the behaviour at this moment:

Table not wanted hebaviour

And this is how I would like it to behave:

Table wanted behaviour

I have been looking through all properties and settings, but I don't seem to find any option. Neither can I found anything by searching online (probably not using the exact right keywords).

Any help is appreciated.
