I wish to insert a (varwidth) box into a table cell, and I want the size of the box to be limited in width to whatever autosize that column would otherwise have, and for any text that I insert into the box to just wrap at that width.
I was initially hoping to be able to do something like
begin{tabular}{ccc}
Column 1 & Column 2 & Column 3tabularnewline
stuff &
begin{varwidth}{columnwidth}
This text should be wrapped to the width of the column
but instead it makes the entire column extremely wide
end{varwidth}
& stufftabularnewline
some other stuff & some other stuff & some other stufftabularnewline
end{tabular}
Putting my varwidth minipage in the cell where I want to insert the text, but columnwidth seems to only reflect the width of a column with respect to how the pages are finally laid out, not the preferred width of an individual table column. Worse this example further causes the table to overflow past the right margin.
I apologize in advance if my requirements are unclear, but if any one has any specific questions, I will try to address them quickly and clarify the text of this question as appropriate.

The following is not really automatic as you have to determine the widest entry manually, but might give you something close to what you described:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{calc}
usepackage{ragged2e}
usepackage{array}
newcolumntype{C}[1]{>{Centeringarraybackslashhspace{0pt}}p{#1}}
begin{document}
begin{tabular}{cC{widthof{some other stuff}}c}
Column 1 & Column 2 & Column 3tabularnewline
stuff &

Yes... but in fact, if I knew which entry was otherwise the widest, I could just use that width for thevarwidthentry itself. I would ideally like a solution that is more reusable, and independent of the entry that happens to have the widest entry.
