I thought of that. The reference is in a Bibtex database so yes, I could do that. But it seems crude and awkwardâif I change a column width or font or font size or number of columns or bibliographic style etc. then the added hyphen will appear in the wrong place.
Jerry, Perhaps not. I've not needed to split a long word in a bibliography but quite often have needed to give TeX a hint where to hyphenate a word that sticks into the right margin and the hyphenation dictionary did not know how to split it. If I change the wording in that sentence so the long word is no longer hyphenated TeX ignores my suggested location. A few times, I've entered \- in several places in a word and TeX has selected the split that best fits the text width, and will change that if the text width changes. Try suggesting hyphenation places in the bibtex entry and see how the output appears. Regards, Rich
