Hello Klaus -- I have a document with a large number of lengthy URLs that
need to work, but they often span 2 lines so I need to add a space and then
the URL doesn't work anymore. How do I get a long URL to wrap without
affecting its "clickability"? I'm using Word 2003. Thanks in advance for your
assistance/advice.

- Pam

Well, Word is quite happy to break a line at the "No Width Optional
Break," so it works for me (though I rarely use it).

For the time being, it does... Until MS fixes the mess.
U+200C isn't supposed to mark a word break, so it shouldn't affect how Word
breaks the line.

And I have always wondered whether the break would make the URL
nonclickable (if it were clickable); what you quoted suggested to me that
it would not (in the same mysterious way that wrapped URLs in these NG
posts can still be clickable). Obviously, I haven't wondered enough to
bother to test it. g

Once a hyperlink is inserted (say by using the AutoCorrect Option
AutoFormat as you type), the display text and the actual hyperlink are
separate, so if you then insert the Unicode character (whichever you
choose), the link will continue to work.
If I'd need to, I'd stick with U+200B (... type 200B, then Alt+X).
