How do I break URL address over two lines?
I am trying to enter website addresses into footnotes and Word automatically
forces the footnote onto a separate line. I need to conform to certain aditing requirements and want the url to start right after the citation and continue on to however many lines are necessary, but not leave a gap because it starts the url on a separate line in the footnote. Help please. |

In the edit hyperlink dialog, put the URI in both the Address and Text-to-
display boxes. That way you can use a space or linebreak to wrap the display text to the next line without affecting the hyperlink ability. Hyphens will work too, but that might be misleading to readers who have to type the URI.

How do I break URL address over two lines?
In Word 2000 and above, you can make a hyperlink wrap by inserting a
zero-width space character immediately after a delimiter character (such as a forward slash). You must create the hyperlink first and then insert the zero-width space, otherwise the hyperlink won't work. If you have non-printing characters displayed, the zero-width space displays as a bordered box.

Answer: How do I break URL address over two lines?
I understand your concern. Here's how you can break a URL address over two lines in Microsoft Word:
By adding a hyphen or slash at the end of the first line, you are indicating that the URL continues on the next line. This will prevent Word from automatically starting a new line for the URL in the footnote. Another option is to use a URL shortener like bit.ly or tinyurl.com to create a shorter link that can fit on one line. Simply paste the shortened link into your footnote instead of the full URL.
