Can hyperlinks be formatted to wrap?
Is it possible to format hyperlinks so that they automatically wrap or are
hyphenated across two lines? Some of my hyperlinks are quite lengthy, and they often leave the preceding text orphaned on the previous line. |

You can insert a so-called zero-width space. See

Sorry, I have to take that back, after having performed a quick test. Adding
a zero-width space seems to leave the link intact, but when I'm clicking it I get an error message. :-( -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

Apparently, it's getting too late in the afternoon... I just tested again,
and now it seems to work? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... Sorry, I have to take that back, after having performed a quick test.

Can hyperlinks be formatted to wrap?
An essential principle to remember is that the text displayed in the
hyperlink is NOT necessarily the same as the address to which it links. If you right-click on the hyperlink, you will see two data fields: "Text to display" and "Address." As long as the address is correct, the text to be displayed can say anything. It can break at the end of a line or page. It can have spaces or hyphens. It can just say "click here." It can say or be anything. I hope this helps. Fred "Brian" wrote: Is it possible to format hyperlinks so that they automatically wrap or are hyphenated across two lines?

Good point. Of course, using an entirely different text as the display text
would look better. However, in this case I assumed the OP wanted both to be the same. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Idaho Word Man" wrote in message ...
