Hello jroo-

I'm not the authority on this by any means, but since there have not been
any other responses I'll be happy to share what I do know.

First, the reason for the behavior is that there are probably _no_ spaces in
your hyperlinks, correct? It seems Word will allow you to resize columns to
any width for print purposes regardless of content, but the MS translation to
html will not. It seems to rely on a 'space' or line break, or paragraph
break in order to wrap text within a cell.

You can probably write the necessary tags/style definitions using the Script
Editor, but I don't know enough about the language to suggest what that code
may be. The only workaround I have found is to create manual line breaks
(Shift+Enter) at the spot where you want the content to wrap. Unfortunately,
you would have to do this for each hyperlink... which may not be a problem if
there aren't too many. If the hyperlinks are email addresses, URLs, or
contain any consistant character you can use Find & Replace to insert the
line breaks more quickly. Just be sure to use a 'manual line break' and not
just the Enter key by itself. Otherwise the hyperlinks won't work as they
should.

OTOH- If you aren't concerned about the links being active in your table
(unlikely, huh?) you could just insert spaces or paragraph breaks (Enter) to
trigger the wrapping.

BTW- Word is notoriously inept when it comes to web page design. If you have
other web design software available you might want to consider using it.

Good Luck |:)

Hello, I'm organizing my bookmarks/hyperlinks in a table with four
columns an one row, and saving the word file as a web page in *.mht
format. Using MS word as an editor, my hperlinks appear as I want them
to - having the text wrap automatically when it reaches the end of a
column. However, when I save the file and open it as a web page, the
right hand margin is widened on each column. Can anyone let me know how
I can prevent this from happening?
