Question

I got numerous messages like this in even one table. I want to get rid at least some of them.

The style file can be downloaded here: clv3.cls link (from Computational Linguistics). It's the first file in the list on that page. The following is the working environment:

\end{document}

The errors read as follows, for example(see the screeshot for more messages):

More messages: Thanks a lot in advance!~~~

again you post disconnected fragments that make it hard to help. Always post examples as complete small documents that show the problem — David Carlisle, Jun 25 '23 at 09:04
they are not errors but just warning that you have specified very narrow columns such as 0.4cm and tex can not break the supplied text in to lines that short — David Carlisle, Jun 25 '23 at 09:07
Thanks. But beside the working environments, table codes, error/messages and screenshot, what else can I provide? — JC Y, Jun 25 '23 at 09:07
why make anyone trying to help reconstruct an example from those bits, or trace unrelated packages like \usepackage[linguistics]{forest} you should have a single code block from \documentclass to \end{document} and only include packages and definitions you need to show the problem — David Carlisle, Jun 25 '23 at 09:11
as you are asking about a tabular you can probbly use a standard article class in the example. it would be easy for you to checck before posting whether you get the same warnings — David Carlisle, Jun 25 '23 at 09:14
I see. Thanks. I should have included the two pieces of code in one block. However, as a green hand, I am not very sure which prepackage could be the source of the problem though "linguistics" package indeed is unlikely to be the one in this case. — JC Y, Jun 25 '23 at 09:17
I tried \small. It does get rid of a couple of the messages, but more in the same table still persist. I guess as they may not affect too much, I can just ignore them for now. BTW, I am using a standard article class. Thanks anyway~ — JC Y, Jun 25 '23 at 09:29
no standard article class would be \documentclass{article} you are using a non standard and broken clv3 class which is why you need weird fixes \let\document\latexdocument... — David Carlisle, Jun 25 '23 at 09:38
I believe you are right. I will try to undo the changes of weird fixes suggested by another expert. It gave me another headache. :-( — JC Y, Jun 25 '23 at 09:47
Figuring out what you need in your example is just a matter of trial-and-error. You don't need to know in advance. You just comment and uncomment stuff until you figure out what's needed. E.g. comment out half the packages from your example. Compile. If the messages persist, delete those lines. If the messages disappear, uncomment half of what you commented. Repeat as necessary. — cfr, Jun 26 '23 at 03:37
Without more to go on, the best that we can do is refer you to work through https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/35/107497. — Teepeemm, Jun 26 '23 at 04:13
