You are basically out of luck with CSS in this issue. However, maybe your page or your table as a whole could be modified (in content or in styling) so that the problem does not arise. If the problem cannot be avoided, the practical approaches are: 1) Use ­ if you wish to suggest a hyphenation point, so that foo­bar will appear either as foobar on one line or as foo- bar on two lines. This conforms to the HTML specification and is supported by most modern browsers except Firefox. 2) Use <wbr> if you wish to suggest a string break point, so that foo<wbr>bar will appear either as foobar on one line or as foo bar (i.e. with no hyphen) on two lines. This does not conform to any specification but is supported by most modern browsers. There is no property for this in CSS specifications. IE recognizes the nonstandard word-wrap property, which can be used to suggest "emergency breaks", i.e. the string is to be broken (with no hyphen) at an arbitrary point.
