Question Cells no longer wrap text when changed in nested table


I have a .docx format file. I guess it is Word 2008 format. It has nested tables. The tables then have cells with text that wrap within the cell. I am using Word 2011 on a Mac to work with the file.

Any time I try to change the text in the cells, the cells no longer wrap the text, the table widens and goes off the screen. The tables are no longer nicely formatted in the page, but are now off screen. How can I change the text in the cells, keeping all the formatting?

Hi erik,

Does the table have a 'preferred width' set? Do the columns have their 'preferred width' set?
