long hyperlink formatting
I am in the process of creating brochures and other outreach materials which
includes typing hyperlinks into paragraphs of text. If the hyperlink is especially long (and begins part way through a line of text), the entire hyperlink moves to the next line. Is there a way to wrap the text of a hyperlink without altering the URL? I have tried adding a hyphen to the hyperlink, but it appears in the URL and then sends users to the wrong place. |

Better than adding a hyphen is to insert a no-width optional break (see the
Special Characters tab of the Symbol dialog). Note that the display text of your hyperlink can be different from the underlying URL, so if you edit the display text, you will not be affecting the link itself. -- Suzanne S.

It's true that the display text is unaffected in Word when adding a special
character, but when converted to a PDF, the hyphen (or other characters) appear in the link. Any thoughts on that? Is that an Adobe issue? Thanks for your help. "Suzanne S.

Well, that would be the argument for using the No Width Optional Break (or
just an ordinary space); if the printed result is all that matters, then there's no problem. If you're saying that Adobe interprets the display text as the actual URL, then yes, that's an Adobe issue. -- Suzanne S.
