Preventing line breaks in a cell
Hi Dcbohn,
It might be helpful to see an example of this as the table setting may have some effect on the result.
I think by default the word should stretch the table until the next space. That is if there are no spaces around the hyphen. Netscape seems to handle this correctly. ie looks like it will break it on a hyphen if there are no spaces around. You could try setting word-wrap:normal; although this is the default and the only other option is break-word.

Another thing to try would be wrap the contents in a span, or if the word really needs to stay together force a break before it <br />.
Hopefully someone else will find a better solution.
Good luck.

Try this, though I must warn you its not WC3 recomended.
use the <nobr>whatever you dont want broken</nobr> tags.

not sure this is recommended as well...
use the attribute nowrap for the td element...
<td nowrap>your text that won't break</td>
