\subsection*{Some note on Section}
\begin{footnotesize}
\begin{tabular}{p{2cm}|p{4cm}|p{3cm}|p{3cm}}
Heading 1 & Heading 2 & Heading 3 & Heading 4 \\
\hline
Text 1 & Text 2 & A\textsuperscript {6/1} B\textsuperscript {5/1} C\textsuperscript {1/2} D\textsuperscript {7/1} (E + F)\textsuperscript{8.4.46} (G + H)\textsuperscript{8.4.45} Some more text\textsuperscript{6.1.72} \\
\end{tabular}
\end{footnotesize}
In the above table |p{3cm}
is making the columns justified. I get some unwanted space between the characters, is there a way to make it align to the left, if the text does not fit in a line either put a "-" and continue to next line or simply start from a new line.
Also can I post my code with Unicode characters?

You could use the
array
package and let it insert\raggedright
commands. A comfortable way is to define a new column type:Now just use
P
instead ofp
to get left justified p columns.Instead of
\raggedright
, you could also use the enhanced command\RaggedRight
of theragged2e
package, which allows hyphenation. Further\arraybackslash
, which restores the behavior of \ (changed by\raggedright
), is no longer needed.So, my preferred way would be
I'm further inserting
\hspace{0pt}
because otherwise there could be hyphenation problems: TeX doesn't hyphenate the first word in a box. Inserting zero space works around that.
