Mark,

Perfect. Im glad we found a solution.

Long URLs are a pain
If my documents are for print, I typically use a url shortener, such as the one you mentioned your author was using. You loose the branding of the domain name; however, people are much more likely to manually type them in.
If my documents are digital only, I typically use the domain name with an ellipsis (https://google.com/…) and then add the URL to the actual link.

In reference to your earlier comment about some domains without the prefix (www), I really hate that. In my opinion, it is a mistake and should be fixed. The casual web user is not going to understand this. The webmaster should add an A record to ensure the bare domain bounces over to www.

Good luck with your project.
