I have a table in Microsoft Word where the row size is not specified, but the columns are fixed. When I type text that should wrap, it instead continues, invisibly, beyond the end of the row and then wraps 4 or 5 characters later. So the table looks like this:
|this is text in the 1st cell|This is the 2nd cell which |But this cell doesn't |
| |has wrapped appropriately, |where it should. |
The word "wrap" is missing after the word "doesn't" in the 3rd column. If I insert spaces at the beginning of the cell, I can watch the word "wrap" appear on the next line, while "doesn't" begins to disappear. It's like the table thinks the column is a few characters longer than it is so it wraps too late, but can't show those characters that are beyond the end of the column.

1Are you actually seeing the right border of the table? If you click in that right-most cell at look at paragraph format, what is the right indent? – Scott – 2014-06-27T22:08:34.317
Fantastic, Scott. Thank you. I was only looking at table properties. Never occurred to me to check paragraph properties. How it got to a negative number (-.36") I'll never know. But now after setting that to 0, it's working correctly! Thank you!! – Nan – 2014-06-27T22:16:28.710
