Microsoft Word/word wrap

Question
Mr. Rost,
When writing a works cited sheet for an essay I was docked points because word wrap took the entire url to the next line, instead of separating it. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Thank you,
Rashel Habic

Answer
I would suggest hyphenation, but that would effectively change the URL. The only thing I could recommend would be to use a smaller font, or perhaps convert it to a TinyURL.

Let me know if you have any other questions or comments.
