How to enter a hyperlink containing a space into a Word document

To manually specify that a group of words containing spaces is an address and should be represented by a hyperlink, simply surround the text with the left and right angle brackets:

Prefix the address with the < character and terminate it with the > character. For example, how to use the angle brackets to discern a Web address:

<http://www.example of an address with spaces.html>.

A second way of entering an address with spaces that should be treated as a hyperlink is to insert the value %20 (the hex value for a space symbol) for each space. Using this technique, the previous example address would be entered as follows:

http://www.example%20of%20an%20address%20with520spaces.htm.
