What is it?
This property specifies whther the current rendered line should break if the content exceeds the boundary of the specified rendering box for an element (this is similar in some ways to the 'clip' and 'overflow' properties in intent.) This property should only apply if the element has a visual rendering, is an inline element with explicit height/width, is absolutely positioned and/or is a block element.

Allowed Values
normal
[IE5.5B1]
Type: Explicit
Description:
Content will exceed the boundaries of the specified rendering box.
break-word
[IE5.5B1]
Type: Explicit
Description:
Content will wrap to the next line when necessary, and a word-break will also occur if needed.
Example
Ext/Doc: div { word-wrap: break-word }
In-Line:  <div STYLE="word-wrap: break-word">This is the text content of this div element</div>
