Hello,

Can anyone replicate the problem or find a solution?

The procedures are described below and the test file is attached.

Thanks,
Pili

Hi,

I find it. The problem is related with \cite in the table cells.

I'm using 1.0.7.19.

I attached a short test file:

   * Make a 3*2 table (\block).
   * First row contains a long text.
   * Second row contains a lot of bib citations.
   * Set the *exact* width to 5em.
   * Enable line wrapping as described in my first email. 
   * The 1st row (long text) wraps correctly.
   * The 2nd row (citations) exceeds the boundary.

I was doing a survey and wanted to tabularize previous works. Then the problem came.

Thanks,
Pili

Hi, what version are you using? Setting the *exact* width of a cell (say 5em, for instance), then activating line wrapping for it should work.

Dear all

How to automatically wrap lines in table cells?

For example, original table cells of one row is: ("|" is the cell border)

abc def | ghijklmn

I want to limit the width of the first column and the texts are automatically wrapped:

abc | ghijklmn
def |

I can limit the width in the cell's menu using "maximal". After setting it, the texts do not wrap. Instead, they simply cross the cell border. It looks like: (messed up with the cell on the right)

abc | dgehfijklmn

I tried to different options in the cell menu but none works. e.g. "Cell->Special->Line Wrapping" looks related but the three options does not have any effect.



Thanks,
