Hello everyone,
Is it possible to do word wrapping inside org table as MS Word did? I know
that one table mode can do this. (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TableMode)
Best wishes,
Yu Zhao

I don't believe you can do word wrapping within a single field and
still preserve the integrity of the field, since, as I understand it,
a field in org-tbl is limited to a single line.
But you can "wrap" a long field for the sake of appearance. For
instance if you have the following table:
,----
|
| | table | this is a long field with a lot of text that stretches on and on |
|
`----
You can select the text in the second column as a region and type C-u
5 M-RET, which will reformat the text to fill five rows. (Change the
prefix argument to get more or fewer rows.)
,----
|
| | table | this is a long |
| | | field with a |
| | | lot of text |
| | | that stretches |
| | | on and on |
|
`----
Your other option is to create narrow columns that hide the full text
in a column. See this page of the manual:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Narrow-columns.html#Narrow-columns
Best,
Matt

Hi everyone,
Regarding wrapping of columns in tables, I noticed that one of the
shortcuts listed in the manual[1] no longer works.
The manual says you can use either M-RET or C-c C-q to "wrap several
fields in a column".
The latter keybinding, however, takes you to the headline and
activates org-set-tags-command.
Thanks,
Matt
