[Solved] Double Quotes in Hyperlink URL

[apsley]

I'm creating a hyperlink in Writer with the following URL:

https://play.google.com/store/search?q="chris%20brossard"&c=apps

When I reopen the document, and the hyperlink, all text after the "q=" is gone in the "Target" field.

I suspect that this is because the URL is stored within double quotes, and my double quote part way through is terminating the URL.

I have tried entering "%22" instead of double quotes, but that doesn't help as the %22 is changed to double quotes and I have the same problem.

I have also tried using \" and /" instead of the double quotes, but no luck with that either.

Is there a workaround for this?

I forgot to mention that the document is being saved in Word (.doc) format. This is probably why it isn't working.
