[reportlab-users] Understanding Wordwrap, esp. in tables

After playing around a bit with the word wrapping I see a quite erratic
behaviour
for the wrapping, and I remembered that the calculation of table widths may
be
Influenced by the wrapping and vica versa.

I changed the table width from "automatic" into a fixed width. Now the
overall
word wrap behaviour is more deterministic, but still tends to "block" word
wrapping.

I can help myself with adding "- " at the corresponding text parts, but the
basic
question is still open: is a left-oriented word wrapping possible?

Regards,
Andrew
