Word wrap is the default behaviour for text either in the 
body or in a table.
Now, there are two things you should know to control this process 
better:
1.- The <nowrap></nowrap> tag that will keep sentences together when 
there is a need to split that sentence.
2.- The ­ entity will allow you to propose hyphenation for a 
specific word. So when the word can be divided it will be split using 
this mark. However if the word does not need to be divided, the user 
will not see the dash. Additionally the search tool will recognize one 
word.
