How to wrap hyperlink in narrow table column?

humblehobit · 02-06-2009, 10:58 AM

I tried to create a table with table property of fixed column width in Word 2003. However when I copy and paste a long HTML hyperlink in 1 table cell, the column width of the cell automatically adjust to length of hyperlink. So the table looks bloated. How can I make long hyperlink wrap-around multiple lines in a table cell without resizing the column width?

Thanks

Can't you grab the column's handle and shrink it back to the width you want?

Thanks for the reply, but the column handle doesn't budge. That's difficult part. Long hyperlink expands column handle automatically.

Instead of the actual hyperlink, you might have to code it in HTML with a short alias text.

Code:

As in (URL="myurl") alias text (/URL).

Replace the round parentheses in the code above with square brackets.
