Thank you for testing and letting me know.

There is a certain point where you just cannot shove a HUGE word in "25%" width.

It is a balance between making it match the look of the original source, or getting all the information in there displayed. Usually information in floating boxes are not THAT important.

In the case of that "falling back" on Kindle, it worked out great. It matched the look of some of his earlier books, where the bold words were at the beginning of the paragraphs.

There is also this code I stumbled upon a while back, but haven't had the chance to test:

Although for me, it seems to be quite unmaintainable code.

Indeed, which is why I settled on that code.

If anyone else has any other floating box examples they use, feel free to post! Then we can all start using it to make our EPUBs better.
