Web addresses tend to get longer by the day. So you could end up with a line like this:
Please refer to:
http://uk.search.yahoo.com/long_chain/long_chain/long_chain/long_chain/
long_chain/long_chain/
It would be nicer to have:
Please refer to: http://de.search.yahoo.com/long_chain/long_chain/long_chain/ long_chain/long_chain/long_chain/
In other words you want to achieve two things: i) the url should start on the same line as the preceding phrase and ii) you want to be able to insert a line break at the right place.
For this you need to do the following:
- Under Tools › Options › Language Settings › Languages tick the box next to Show UI Elements for Bi-directional writing.
- Place the cursor after any / or _ where you might want a line break.
- Activate the menu Insert › Formatting Mark › No-width optional break.
- If you have lots of URLs you can speed up the process by Finding & Replacing (in the menu Edit) all occurrences of / with your new combination of /No-width optional break; conversely, in order to prevent http:// from breaking at the end of a line, you can replace all double occurrences of /No-width optional break with //; you could apply the same logic to the underscore _ and other such typical URL characters.
