Fred is right; this is usually dealt with by disallowing breaks at slashes. But you might not want to disallow breaks at slashes, particularly if your copy has a lot of URLs. You can also play around with spread to force the line to break elsewhere. Not a great solution. For Frame 8 (I don't have it yet) you *might* be able to disallow breaks at slashes and then selectively re-allow breaks at slashes by following the slash with a zero width space (U+200B, I don't know how to get one except by copying it from Character Map). This doesn't work in Frame 7.2 (because 7.2 is not Unicode-aware). If someone with Frame 8 wants to test this, I'd be interested to know if it can be done: Just fill a couple lines with letters with no spaces, type a single space somewhere near the end of the measure, and if it results in an unhyphenated line break, take it out and paste a zero width space you copied from Character Map (in Advanced view, Go to Unicode 200B). If this works (the way I'd like it to), you'll get a line break the same way you would if you inserted a space, but if you move text around so that zero width space no longer causes a break, it should be completely invisible (i.e., take up no space when not allowing the break).
