I could reproduce it this way:

Have your designer create the entire content of the image area, 
including the beige left-side label area, but without any text. Import 
the image.

Make a button the same dimensions as the image. Set the button 
properties to:

Showborder: false
Opaque: true
Backpattern: the ID of the image
Margins: 4,4,250,4
Textsize: 28
Label: set it in the msg box or script:
    set the label of btn x to "Three" &cr& "Line" &cr& "Label"

You can't type in a multi-line label in the inspector, but you can set 
one via script.

This gives you a regular button that you can attach a script to normally.
