Menu
I know this question has been on here plenty of times, but I haven't found an answer that specifically addresses my question. I have a table that I am trying to print that is 16 columns wide. Of course, the right side just cuts off in every browser. I am trying to figure out a way to prevent that from happening. At the bottom is a sample table, try printing it and the right side cuts off. Here are options that unfortunately I can't do:
word-break:break-all. It just isn't nice lookingIdeally I would just want the table to take up as much width as it needs, and if there is too much content then just wrap it normally so the letters in the words stay together.
