You can use something like >{\raggedright}p{10em}.

The microtype package helps in justifying and avoiding too much white space:

\usepackage{microtype}

You could even allow hyphenation in table cells:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\newcolumntype{P}[1]{>{\RaggedRight\hspace{0pt}}p{#1}}
...
\begin{tabular}{P{3cm}P{4cm}}
  ...
\end{tabular}
