Solution:

If your data table has columns that are very long, the data can be cut off, just showing ellipses (...).

Resolution

While there is no true text wrapping, you can increase the height of rows. Right-click on the table and select 'Properties' (or click on the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the visualization), then click on 'Appearance' tab. Increase the number shown for "Data rows height (number of lines):" to a number greater than the default of 1 to create taller boxes for data. See screen shot in the attached file (Filename: Properies_cell_height.jpg).
