Do you ever get tired of being unable to click a link because it wraps on multiple lines?
Maybe it's in an email with the >> characters in front of each line?

Do you ever want to map a street address that has the city, state, zip on the second line?

You need Unwrap Text!!

Select text in the browser window, and choose from context menu choices (or Tools menu).
