I have tried word-wrap:break-word; but it doesn't seem to work. I'm using IE8

Here is my css:

#notes table tr td p{

font-family:Arial;

padding:2% 2% 2% 5%;

table-layout: fixed;

word-wrap: break-word;

Update 1

I was wrong with my question. Sorry about that. I want the text not to wrap, even though there is a white-space. But it will go down to the next line if necessary. Hope that I'm clearer this time.

Is there a character that looks like a space, but doesn't serve as a breakpoint for the word wrap?
