When a single word is too wide with the selected font size for a
table cell which has its WIDTH spec'-ed, the cell will re-size as
expected, but there will be a "toothpaste tube" effect that shifts
the text up a line. An example is attached.

Title: Arachne1.64 Valign Test Page

 
 
 
This cell contains text
and linebreaks to force
the height of the others,
because VALIGN doesn't
work in Arachne when
HEIGHT is specified
for the cell.

 
 
 
Abracadabra! Abracadabra!

 
The middle cell above has a width specified that is too narrow for the text. The cell re-sizes to contain the text, but Arachne squeezes it up a line. The text should be VALIGN="BOTTOM", as with the right-hand example.
