I submitted a post on general news, which I down loaded and copied from word, with a link that had a lengthy web address. While on word the link split itself into three lines and was still hot but when I transferred it to A2K it reassembled into one long line that extended the A2K page beyond the margins of my computer screen. Is there any way I can divide a web address on A2K and still keep it active?

This may help - use the URL icon of the "post a reply" section, copy the full URL into the box, then type a descriptive title in the next box.

Using this method on your link produces the following:

You are welcome. It seems that long URL's sometimes stretch the screen, but using the URL icon eliminates the streching and also gives readers an idea of what to expect at the other end of the link.
