Sorry, but this sounds like your bosses _and_ you are too clueless in
basics of web publishing. It's pointless to try to "fix" design that is
inherently broken. Does anyone care to _read_ such foolishly small text
is pointlessly narrow columns that the design has led to? Have you, or
have your bosses ever tried to _use_ the information that the site
offers?

Sigh. The size is not the issue. The issue is completely broken design.
Don't waste any time in fine-tuning something like that.

Was wrapping the issue? Forget it. You didn't specify any example of the
phenomenon you thought to have seen ("caps in table cause none
wrapping"), but that doesn't matter. The text _cannot_ wrap decently
anyway when squeezed into such narrow columns (oddly wasting space for
something, so that the iframes are much wider than the text columns).
And it wouldn't matter anyway, since who would really _read_ such poorly
presented data, anyway?

You still have a long way to go in posting to Usenet, too.
