Soft Back Slash
I am preparing procedure manuals which refer to filenames in very long paths.
Each path has several backslashes in it and this can cause a lot of the path to appear on a new line, with lots of white space at the end of the previous line. Because the paths are hyperlinks, I do not want to insert spaces to make the lines break more logically because the links would not work. Can anyone tell me how/whether I can create a soft backslash (similar to the soft/hard hyphen principle), please? I know this is possible in WordPerfect, but cannot find any help in Word. I am using Word 2003. Thanks in advance. |
