If you want long words to be wrapped instead of overflowing the column (like shown for column K in the example), add word-wrap: break-word; to the table style.

If you find that your widths are not being honored, it's possible that Confluence is setting the column widths to a static width. This can occur if you drag a column to set the width. Confluence tables have a setting to be either Responsive or Fixed width. We have seen cases where even if the table is set as Responsive, Confluence still applies the static widths.

To correct this behavior:

1. Edit your page and select your table. You are then presented with a Table toolbar in the Confluence page editor.
2. Click the Responsive dropdown, select Fixed width, then immediately click the drop-down, and, select Responsive. This resets the table to a responsive setting and clears the fixed widths.
3. Save the page and view the table.
