Horizontal Scrolling

This paragraph is in a table with its width set to 800 pixels. At 1024 x 768 resolution, it will fit easily on the screen without scrolling, but at 800 x 600 it will not.

The same problem can be caused by trying to fit too many columns of information on a page, even if the individual columns aren't unsually wide.
