Repeating text and image

Seemingly I am having a difficult time resolving a simple problem, so here
goes.
I am listing hotels in the details of a tabular report, I would like to list
the hotels and show the number of stars for each hotel as an image. I would
like to do this all in one cell, but can't seem to add text and image in one
cell. The other problem I have is that I have an image of a star and I would
like to show this image 3 times for a 3 star resort or show it 4 times for a
4 star resort. I have read alot about turning on and off visibility, but how
do you add 4 different star images to one cell and have them next to one
another?
thanks
donWhy do you need to put them in the same cell? Can you leave them in
different cells and just merge those cells?

detail section, since the hotels name and stars would be in the grouping
section and that just means I have to work around that issue. Are you saying
there is no way to put repeating text and an image in the same cell? Or even
two images in the same cell?
thanks again
