Default Column Width Cuts Off Text

A table that previously behaved well has suddenly started cutting off text
instead of wrapping, when the contents exceed the column width. I have tried
resetting the option to have word-wrap, but that has not worked. Any help
much appreciated.

Make sure that the paragraph in the cell doesn't have a negative right
indent.

Suzanne nailed this one. My only question is how that setting became
altered?

I'm not sure anyone has ever come up with a satisfactory explanation for
that!

It's easy to inadvertently drag the indent markers on the ruler.

I suppose so, especially if one uses the ruler to size columns (instead of
dragging the cell boundaries in the table itself).
