Re: Contents overflow in table cell ?

That sounds like a bug in software not a problem with XSL-FO ... text in a table cell is in a block so is supposed to wrap and create new lines when it reaches the end-edge of the table cell. You don't mention any use of properties to prevent wrapping, so that would point to a problem in the implementation you've chosen to use.

My text is usually a long single word.
I'm using FOP 0.20.5

  <table-cell>
    <block-container overflow="hidden">
      <block white-space="nowrap">Example with a lot of
      text that is specified not to wrap in order to
      illustrate clipping</block>
    </block-container>
  </table-cell>

Thanks
