Default Problem with Table Column Not Expanding

I've got text in a table column that extends beyond the visible edge of the
column. It appears that Word 2007 is not actually extending the table as it
should but stops right at the page break.

Default Problem with Table Column Not Expanding

On the Table tab of Table properties, make sure text wrapping is set to
None.

Default Problem with Table Column Not Expanding

In Word 2007, I didn't see that option under that Table tab, just
'Automatically Resize...', under the Cell tab, I confirmed that both the
'Wrap Text' and 'Fit Text' are unchecked. The text is still isn't displayed.

Open the Table Properties dialog using the dialog launcher in the Cell Size
group of Table Tools | Layout or from the right-click context menu in any
cell.

The Table Tools | Layout contextual tab, which is displayed only when the
insertion point is in a table.
