        Table -> Special cell properties -> Hyphenation

In this menu, the "Multiparagraph" item allows you to create multi-paragraph 
cells.
The hyphenation items will force contents to be hyphenated when they exceed
the width of the cell. You probably will need to set the width too.

        Table -> Special table properties -> Use paragraph width

may be useful in combination with this.

Best wishes, Joris
