I'm trying to make a simple table like you make in HTML or MS Word, where columns wordwrap in such a way that the table stays within the page margins. I've tried stuff like format->tabular->column/row->width, but whether or not I included units it wouldn't be taken. Anyone have any ideas? Attached is a tiny doc with little else except a table that walks off the right side of the page. It does this when rendered as postscript.
