Text Overflowing Fixed Cell

I'm using a layout table to control placement however, the text that I'm placing in the cells is overflowing. It looks fine in design view, but when displayed in the browser it is going beyond the borders of the cells. All of the properties are set to fixed and there doesn't appear to be any other reason for it. Any suggestions?
 
do these text have spaces in between them?

Post your table code. Or try playing around with this css to put a scroll in the td tag.

Code:
<style>
.contents {
padding-left: 10px; 
scrollbar-face-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #ffffff; 
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #999999; 
scrollbar-arrow-color: #660033; 
scrollbar-track-color: #cccccc; 
overflow:auto; 
border: 1 solid #000000; 
background-color: white; 
width:600; height:290;}
</style>

I found it, the Width attribute was missing from the HTML code. I put it into the cell tags and it worked fine. Now the question is why does DW remove the width attribute when you make an adjustment in a design view layout table, even though the properties mark it as fixed?

WYSIWYG vs. looking into your code.
Putting H and W in the properties tag sometime does NOT get generated in code or only H or W is really entered!
Try to work in a split code-design view and watch the code being generated....

all the best!
