  Hi WP team…

  I’m using a table block on a page and i’m getting text wrapping mid word.

  Is there something I can add in “Additional CSS Class(es)” that can make it wrap normally?

  Please see the RH columns on this page: https://alpinerally.org.au/competitors/documents-and-forms/

  thanks in advance…

  That seems odd, at the very least I’d think that it should be hyphenating, but it seems the theme’s designer either didn’t want that, or didn’t anticipate a need for it.

  In the CSS section of the Customizer, add this:

  .wp-block-table .has-fixed-layout td, .wp-block-table .has-fixed-layout th {
      word-break: normal;
  }

  That will ensure that the words do not break.

  staff-blorbo , I’m having the same issue. But, I don’t have a premium account yet, so I can’t customize the CSS. I can’t justify spending any money on WordPress if the basics don’t even work. How can we get the themes fixed?
