I'm currently writing an annotated bibliography for a graduate class, and am having some trouble formatting the citations correctly. Here's my predicament...

Whenever I have a really long web address in my citation, Pages keeps splitting it in half between two lines. For example, if I'm citing this link: h++p://www.youngvoterstrategies.org/index.php?tg=fileman&idx=get&inl=1&id=1&gr=Y&path=Booklets&file=Polling+Young+Voters+Volume+I.pdf

Wow! MR is doing the same thing as Pages... it splits the link up after the question mark, and puts it on two separate lines. Makes it easier for me to explain. It needs to be on one continuous line.

Now, I thought I could say "hyphenate" in the Document properties, but then that splits all of my words up that are "on the edge." Leaving me with "Oct" on one line and "ober" on the other.

So basically, I guess I just need Pages to ONLY hyphenate a section of text (the citation) that I highlight.

God knows I hate Word, but for once MS might have gotten this one right, b/c this only seems to happen in Pages...

I feel like this is a no brainer, but I'm running on 8 hours of sleep in the past 72 hours, things aren't moving too fast upstairs...

Thanks in advance for your help!
