Word Wrap problem with AFB Access World

AFB uses a table layout for its Access World Newsletter.  This one has lots
of TD-elements in a header with the article columns below.  When you
enlarge text-only the small TD-elements on top get long and blow the
article off the right.  This is also true for the "print-friendly" format.

You can use the style sheet below to get a decent word wrap.  It ain't
perfect.  I would not apply it until  I have the article I want loaded and
in print-friendly mode.  The layout table structure is much more manageable
in print-friendly mode.
I made a few adjustments for readability.  The main was to set a max-width
limit on TD-elements of 900px.  Now don't get all worried about usng %
instead of px.  Accommodation tools use fixed measures, accessible content
uses relative measures.

To use this, I recommend Safari.  Alternative style sheets are easiest to
manage on Safari.  Just go to preferences > advanced > style sheet and
choose the code below.  Now, the resulting page will be hard to navigate.
It will be a table that is blown all out of shape... BUT the article you
want to read is in one column that will fit on a screen horizontally. If
you need help call or email me Wayne Dick, 562-256-4458.  Please watch time
zones.  I'm late to rise and early to bet.
