Can hyperlinks be formatted to wrap?

[Guest]

Is it possible to format hyperlinks so that they automatically wrap or are
hyphenated across two lines? Some of my hyperlinks are quite lengthy, and
they often leave the preceding text orphaned on the previous line.

You can insert a so-called zero-width space. See

But will the hyperlinks still work?

Sorry, I have to take that back, after having performed a quick test. Adding
a zero-width space seems to leave the link intact, but when I'm clicking it
I get an error message. :-(

Apparently, it's getting too late in the afternoon... I just tested again,
and now it seems to work?

I guess we'll leave it up to the OP to decide whether it works!

An essential principle to remember is that the text displayed in the
hyperlink is NOT necessarily the same as the address to which it links. If
you right-click on the hyperlink, you will see two data fields: "Text to
display" and "Address." As long as the address is correct, the text to be
displayed can say anything. It can break at the end of a line or page. It
can have spaces or hyphens. It can just say "click here." It can say or be
anything.

I hope this helps.

Good point. Of course, using an entirely different text as the display text
would look better. However, in this case I assumed the OP wanted both to be
the same.
