Hi,

The "excursion" manual describes how to use w(dim) to set a column's 
minimum width. Is there a way to set a column's maximum width so that 
text automatically wraps around?

Alternatively, is there a way to set a table's maximum width so that it 
doesn't get wider than \textwidth? I tried using \SetTableToWidth{} at 
random locations but I either got errors or no improvement whatsoever.

Thanks,

Flavio
