Hi Jay,
The indents are 0cm already, and the cell is left aligned. That's why I'm
puzzled what to do....

Probably the paragraphs within those table cells have a right indent
that's large enough to make the text width zero or nearly so.

Select the columns. Click the little button in the bottom right corner
of the Paragraph group on the Home ribbon to open the Paragraph
dialog. Set the indents to 0cm.

I'm using Word 2007, and have a table with 4 columns. Two of the columns
are
1.75cm wide, but they only allow me to type 1 character in a cell before
wrapping to the next line, so I get
|f |
|o |
|o |
in a cell no matter how small the characters. The cells are aligned top
left.

What formatting problem is going on here ?
