Description hgk CLA 2010-07-13 14:08:06 EDT 
Word wrapping should happen at character boundaries in table columns in pdf format. Word wrapping happens at character boundaries in table columns in doc format. Right now if there is a long word like too_long_text_to_fit_in_columns, the text is chopped off.

The suggested workaround in birt forums is to break the text ourselves. This is hard to do for every column if there are lot of tables and the columns widths are different in different tables. If the text is localized, it is hard to come up with a fixed number of characters per line.
