Text adjusting table width

Question

I have a table that I want to remain at a fixed width (I do
not have it set to %), and I have 2 colums, the leftmost column
being a sidebar, and a larger column to the right of that one for
mainbody text. When I add the mainbody text, it changes the size of
the sidebar column, does not wordwrap inside the cell, and will
extend the width of the entire table if do not use hard returns to
create a new line. Is there a way to get the text to wordwrap
inside the cell, and keep it from adjusting the width of any
portion of the table?

Are you entering a long string of unbroken text (i.e., no
spaces)? If so,
then no, there's no way to prevent HTML tables from expanding
to contain
your content.
