I'm new to TeXmacs, so please exacuse me if this question is one of those ones people always ask when they didn't read the documentation properly...

When I have a table with a lot of text in a cell, the table gets wider than the page. How can I get the text to wrap aound inside the cell once the table gets to the page width?

I tried to set the cell width using the command M-t h w [some number]. This does seem to resize the cell width, but the text simply continues through the border of the cell and off the edge of the page...

You cannot change it if you don't cut the content of a cell into several lines (or
perhaps there is a way, but I don't know it).

To allow this, put the cursor into the cell you want to change, and choose
"Table/Special cell properties/Hyphenation/Multi-paragraph" (take care about
not confusing this entry with "Table/Special **table** properties/Hyphenation",
which is someting different (I don't know what this one does, indeed)).

Thus as soon as you do "Table/Special cell properties/Hyphenation/Multi-paragraph",
the current table cell becomes multiline, and you can rearrange the text in the cell
in several lines to set the table to a more reasonable with.
