I have faced the same problem, and can confirm that Yves' suggestion is the only way [known to me] to do it. It's a real pain, although the use of SiliconPrairie's Autotext plug-in to pop the heading and subheading cells into the document eases the pain a little.

A related issue is placing a colored background behind all or part of a heading - and the solution is the same.
