how to prevent text wrap in powerpoint table cell using python-pptx
<p>In some rows of a table, a long text string in column 1 needs to continue over columns 2, 3, and 4, instead of wrapping.   How would I either merge the cells or prevent the text from wrapping so that it continues over the subsequent columns?  I have tried setting <code>word_wrap</code> on the text frame as follows but it changes nothing:</p>

<pre><code>table = shape.table
cell = table.rows[0].cells[1]
cell.text_frame.word_wrap = False
</code></pre>

<p>I have also tried setting <code>text_frame.auto_size</code> to <code>MSO_AUTO_SIZE.SHAPE_TO_FIT_TEXT</code> but that also changes nothing.</p>
