There are 2 ways to have 1 paragraph for 1 cell (that's what you want to
do so that the text breaks on cell boundaries automatically).

1. You let LaTeX do it as it wants and this is not left-aligned but it is
   "block" aligned, therefore the spaces you don't want!

2. You do it with the Linebreaks mechanism. This puts a \parbox in the cell
   and also puts \\ (linebreaks after each line) this gives you a left aligned
   paragraph wich breaks lines where you broke them in the cell (but attention
   it also breaks line if you have too long text in one row!)

For 1. there is nothing to tell about it works as it is intended to work.
For 2. you have to pay attention that in one tabular-row you have the same
amount of virtual rows so you have to put at least a Ctrl-space as one char
in EACH virtual row so that all has the same hight as otherwise the parbox
centers vertically in the cell!

Hope this helps you to understand better what's going on. But as we already
told you it is VERY hard to help you concretely if we don't see what is
bothering you, it's different to see a situation and to hear from one.
