Unusual formatting when using URL
Need some help please.
Finishing my thesis and having trouble formatting. Whenever I use a url in the body of the paragraph copy (Arial font, 12pt, double space) i get double spacing between words. Looks something like this Connolly, Rohan, 2005, Back to basics, at http://www.theage.com.au/realfooty/a...321904156.html on 27-6-2005. Help please. Cheeers |

Unusual formatting when using URL
Do you have it justified? It kinda looks like a printer trying to stretch
out an unnaturally short line (unnaturally short because the URL has to begin on its own line because it doesn't have any spaces to break). Click ¶ on the standard toolbar and you will see a little dot for each space--use to make sure there aren't actually 2 spaces between words. Shouldn't such a URL be in a bibliography rather than in the body of the thesis, and the body just use a parenthetical citation of (Connolly 2005) or something? But I use footnotes, anyhow, so I don't know. On 1/23/06 9:12 PM, "moldy" wrote: Need some help please. Finishing my thesis and having trouble formatting.

Unusual formatting when using URL
Adding to what Daiya has said, if you must include the URL in running
(justified) text, either edit the text such that the line will break more pleasingly, or insert a no-width optional break; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NoWidthSpace.htm -- Suzanne S.

Thanks to you both for responding. Yes it only occurs when justified. I'll
try your suggestions "Suzanne S.
