Default Wrap hyperlink / url in a table cell

How do I get a long hyperlink / url to wrap in a table cell that is no where
near big enough for it? It is a SharePoint URL which, and they are huge (see
below).
Thanks

Default Wrap hyperlink / url in a table cell

On the Column tab of the Table Properties dialog box, specify a fixed column
width.

To display the dialog box, right-click the table and choose Table Properties
from the context menu.

Thanks. I tried it and it isn't helping. I am dealing with a merged cell that
has 6 split cells above it. Would that have anything to do with it?

Would it work to get a shorter URL from http://bit.ly/? The URLs supplied by
bit.ly never expire.

I forgot to mention that you should also turn off "Automatically resize to
fit contents" in the Table Options dialog box (on the Table tab of the Table
Properties dialog box, click the Options button).

Alternatively, try Suzanne's suggestion instead.

Or change the "Text to display" in the Insert hyperlink dialog to something
shorter.
