You could either:

[for tables only] not specify the column widths, so the column will 
expand to the size required to fix the text (which can lead to tables 
wider than the page)
Place the text into a Paragraph() to enable word-wrapping.
Wrap the text (or a Paragraph() containing the text) into a 
KeepInFrame() which can either (by default) shrink or crop it's contents 
to fit.

Hope one of the above helps you out.
