[Typo3] TMENU wrapping problem

Hi

Many pages on the website I am building has a main menu down the left 
hand side (see image).  This is required as part of the uni's new 
branding requirements so I'm stuck with the layout.  Most pages listed 
in the menu display fine until the page name is wider than the space 
available for it on the line, and than it wraps the rest of the text to 
the next line (see image again).  Modifying the length of the name is 
not possible.  While you can still read it I would like the wrapped 
words to appear indented, either under the > or the first letter of the 
preceding text.  Part of my Typo3 template code is below and the section 
in question is temp.left_nav.5.  Is it possible to modify the NO.allWarp 
line to allow this?  I have tried but with no luck.  Maybe I should be 
trying something else?       

temp.left_nav = HMENU
temp.left_nav {
  special = rootline
  special = list
  special.value = 4
  stdWarp.wrap = <table>|</table>
}

temp.left_nav.1 = TMENU
temp.left_nav.1.NO {
allWrap= <tr><td valign=top><strong><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;>|</td></tr>
}

temp.left_nav.2 = TMENU
temp.left_nav.2 {
NO.allWrap = <tr><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; >|</td></tr>
}

temp.left_nav.3 = TMENU
temp.left_nav.3 {
NO.allWrap = <tr><td valign=top><strong><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;>|</td></tr>
expAll=1
}

temp.left_nav.4 = TMENU
temp.left_nav.4 {
NO.allWrap = <tr><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;>|</td></tr>
expAll=0
}

temp.left_nav.5= TMENU
temp.left_nav.5{
NO.allWrap = 
<tr><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;>|</td></tr>
expAll=1
}

Sorry about posting an image but it shows the problem better than I 
could explain it.

So basically I am after something that can control the position of the 
individual words in a page name (and format it) in a text menu. 

Cheers

Adrien
