In IE/win. You shouldn't see this problem in other browsers that correctly
handle width. That said, there's no standard property to force a text wrap
in the middle of a word, so in most browsers you'll have to live words
hanging over the right side unless you cut them somewhere in the HTML.
As for IE, you /can/ give the DIV the invalid "word-wrap:break-word;" and
IE/win will cut words to fit.
As a general CSS2 solution to limiting a word length I think I saw clever
contraption using hidden overflow and generated content to produce fake
ellipsis when the word was longer than allowed, but this will certainly not
fly in IE.
