No-width optional break doesn't work

Question

I want to split a long hyperlink into two lines. I can succesfully insert the no-width optional break from the "symbols" tab (I can tell it is there because I can delete something without affecting my content) but my hyperlink doesn't split. How to solve it or are there alternative ways to split hyperlinks?

Answer 1

It will not break the link if the break occurs only in the display text; as long as the underlying link remains the same, it will still be clickable.

Answer 2

What version of Word? It works for me here in all the versions I have installed.

Answer 3

About word:

Example: I want the third line to follow right after the second line and split at the end, so I insert a no-width optional break in the middle of the third line, but nothing happens, no matter it's in text format or link format. Again, the insertion is successful because I can delete something without affecting my content.
