I want the tex to wrap around this table.  
I am very frusterated because IT WONT WRAP. AND I DONT KNOW WHY.  
heres the code:

```auto

<table cellspacing="0" border="1" width="250" height="100" align="left">
	<tr>
		<td align="left" valign="top">somethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomething</td>
	</tr>
</table>

```

I have the tables with at a set px number but it WONT OBEY, and doesn’t wrap around.  
any ideas???

cause it’s one long run on line… it should break up if it’s an actual sentence
