That partly solves my problem. However, it truncates the text at word boundary and I rather want it to fit as many characters as possible into the cell. The long text is an URL and the wrapping-at-word-boundary algorithm doesn't work particually well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
