Hello,

I am working in Word 2010 and I have a problem with a hyperlink.

Here is the issue: I would like my hyperlink (the URL) to be aligned and justified so that the URL only breaks at the end of the line. However, in the example below, the line break occurs too soon. I thought about using non-breaking hyphens, and while this works aesthetically, my hyperlink no longer functions.

Is there any way to reconcile aesthetics and hyperlink functionality?

What I have:

What I would like this to look like, but with the hyperlink that works when clicked:

Tissot éditions. (n.d.). Definition European Directive. http://www.editions-tissot.fr/droit-
travail/dictionnaire-droit-travail- st-definition.aspx?idDef=1221definition=Directive+europ
%C3%A9enne, consulted on May 5, 2014.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 29.0

Hello,

It's in the text of the link and not in the link itself that you need to insert spaces (normal ones, not non-breaking ones that are specifically meant to avoid breaking)
Right-click on the link, 'edit link' and put the spaces in the 'text to display'.

In addition to the thank you (yes, it really is done!!!), remember to mark it as resolved. Thank you.

Thank you eriic

It's perfect :) I had been looking all afternoon, it was so silly, as often. I opened this window 10 times without ever thinking to change the text...
