Default Large space between words when using links

Hello.
I have a problem, when I use full alignment, that looks like the second example in this attachment.
How do I solve this? It happens regularly.
Now, I don't want to add a space or a dash that will break the URL, because the url won't be the same that way. So, is there a solution to this?



By the way, I can't understand why in the first example the url was broken in between letters.

I avoid full alignment. It is harder to read. That said...
When a hypelink is longer than one line, you are going to have this problem (breaking between letters). Word does not distinguish between an underscore and a letter; it has to break somewhere.

If, after you paste, you activate the hyperlink using AutoFormat as you type, by pressing the space bar, you can then add a space or a manual line break to force a line break. The space becomes part of the hyperlink text but not the hyperlink target address.

In the second example, the entire hyperlink is seen as one word. Again, if you make it an actual hyperlink field, you can then break it.


All of the links shown link back to this page. The document with the links is attached.

Thanks for your reply, although I'm not sure I understood how do I force a line break.
I'm writing a text where I don't want active hyperlinks. Just the link as if someone would copy and paste it in the address bar.
I ended up using a zero-width space character and in some cases it looks good. In other cases it didn't do anything. Weird...

A line break is created with Shift+Enter.

If you insert anything in it before there is an active hiperlink, it changes the hyperlink that will be created when someone pastes it elsewhere. I would advise, for those paragraphs, skipping the justification.

If you make the hyperlink active first, you can change the appearance so that it is not underlined or blue by modifying the Hyperlink style. That is, it will be a hyperlink field but it will not look like a hyperlink.

Thanks, that seems to work.
