Conditional line break, no hyphen

[Ferdinand Fichtner]

Hi,

I have a couple of URLs in my document which I want to be line-broken
(hmm?) if necessary.

In order to tell Word where to break the URL I need something like the
conditional hyphen, but without the hyphen, of course. I can't use a
simple space, as it would of course appear in the URL.

In the special characters, I find a thing which is called (in my
German Word 2000) something like "conditional zero-width break". It
sounds as if it could do the job, but it doesn't do anything. It
inserts a quadratic box if formatting marks are turned on, though. No
other effect. I couldn't find any information about this "character"
(probably due to the fact that I don't know how it's called in English
versions of Word) on the web.

So, that's essentially what I'm looking for: a conditional hyphen
without a hyphen. Or any other way to put line breaks into my URLs.

BTW: how can I change the look of visited hyperlinks in my document. I
can't find a style for those.

Thanks for your help,

Ferdinand

Sorry, I found it... :-/

Hi Tari,

I use Shift+Enter to move to the next line without a space or paragraph mark. I use it for URLs, too.

but that's not a conditional break, thus inserting a break even if
it's not necessary. In a document were margins and page layout are
likely to change a lot I don't want to use this rather inflexible
solution.

Thanks anyway for your reply.
