Default Word wrapping in tables is incorrect in Draft view

Draft view is not meant to be in any way WYSIWYG. It's only to show *what*
the text is, not *where* it is. If you want to see it laid out as it will
print, use Print view.

When I view a document with a table in Draft view, it frequently
displays differently from how it displays in Print view.
In particular, a cell which does not wrap over 2 lines in Print view
is often shown to wrap in Draft view.

I'm not sure of the exact circumstances in which this occurs. I've
seen it in columns which have cells with a single word, and the table
is the width of the page.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks,
