Of course! 200em is *extremely* wide! About 400 characters! Make is
smaller as I said in the comment in the CSS
<style type="text/css">
/* use 'em' adjust for min width without wrapping */
body { min-width: 20em; overflow: auto; }
Adjust the value to the min (minimum) needed to display without wrapping.
