I see several pages mentioning about line breaks within a tabular.
I have tables where I have a lot of text in a cell so then the tabnle is
wider than my printed page.
How can I get that text to wrap automatically?
Or by manually putting in line breaks?

Hi Jeremy,
The quick way to do this is to set the width of that particular column
to a fixed amount. Right click on the column in question, and in the
dialog box enter a value. Be sure to hit the Enter key to register the
value.
Thanks.
Also can anyone point me to a webpage or document (maybe already on my
system included with teTeX install) that documents the "tabular" features.
Googling for it doesn't give me a lot. Or can't find correct search terms.
For example, I want to know what ">" greater-than is for in the tabular.
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|>{\centering}p{2in}|}
And what {\centering} is for.
I know what | and c and p (for paragraph) are for.
A couple please have pointed to some LaTeX docs lately -- I need to look
at them.

You might have a look at
http://www.uic.edu/depts/accc/software/tex/array.pdf, particularly Table
1. It's labeled a preliminary draft (from 1991), but my untrained eye
didn't spot anything in Table 1 that seemed wrong.
