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

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

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.

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
