Thanks for the suggestions so far. I guess hyphenation could be useful in some cases, but it seems to be more of a luxury for me to have that feature at the moment because I'm still not sure how the Tools --> Language --> Hyphenation option works.
However, I did look into the Word Wrap option. All the options under Format --> Wrap are greyed out, and I think this is why: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=32373&start=0 I think that Word Wrap option refers to wrapping around pictures, and not what I want to do (leave the first part of the long word on the line it started on). I think this is why it's greyed out by default; I would have to paste a picture and select it or something in order to set those Word Wrap options. Ron, I think your workaround is very clever, and it worked perfectly with URLs at least. After inserting a space to split the URL, I basically created 2 separate URLs that I could fix by editing the hyperlink. In fact, I can generalize this option to long words that aren't URLs; it would actually be easier in those cases because I would just have to choose a place to split the word and not have to worry about fixing the hyperlinks to make them clickable. But is there a less time consuming and more standardized option? The short term problem with this workaround is that I have to guess at where the word should be split. It would be easier of Libreoffice Writer gave the option of allowing the long word to continue until no more characters fit in the original line instead of just bumping the whole word down to the next line, because then I won't have to figure out the exact point at which no more characters would fit. Splitting it with a space means the user is left to do all the work that could be automated by Libreoffice. The lack of this feature bothers me so much that I'm tempted to learn C++ just to add it :( -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] In case of problems unsubscribing, write to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
