It's not a bug nor pilot error. It's a specification :-)
w3m tries to obey WIDTH attribute in <TABLE> tag even if
the width of the table exceeds the screen width. As MS word
generates tables with WIDTH attribute, -cols option doesn't
affect the width of the rendered tables.
If you want to fit the table into the screen width, please
remove WIDTH attribute in the <table>.
