You haven't indicated how wide columns 4, 5, and 6 are supposed to be. Hence, I'll assume they're supposed to be equally wide. I will further assume that the overall width of the tabular material should be textwidth, i.e., as wide as the text block. The code below employs a tabularx environment and three columns of type X.

Since there is no obvious way -- to me at least... -- to decide where the strings "5fsdsadsadasdsadsadasdsadsa" and "6dasdsadasdasdasdasdsadasdsa" should be split, I'll use the seqsplit macro to force line breaks to occur whenever the strings reach the widths of the respective cells.

  @user193541 - extrarowheight is a length parameter that governs much extra vertical whitespace is inserted at the top of each row; its default value is 0pt. Try is out an a tabular environment -- first with the value set at its default, then with a value of 2pt. I think you'll notice the difference right away.

  Thanks. However, the words is combine without a spacing in the orginal words. Meaning let say 'seqsplitTesting 1 testing 2 Testing 3l'. It will become 'Testing1testing2Testing3' and not 'Testing 1 testing 2 Testing 3'
