Default Word wrapping in tables is incorrect in Draft 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,
Calum

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.
