Raymond Am I wrong?

I would say that the problem is in the % (comment character in latex).

Do you have the package url.sty?

Another problem are spaces in the URLs. They will silently disappear in the
output. E.g. if I insert an URL:
Hello There
it will appear as
HelloThere
Not nice.

You need to type latex not normal text at the moment.

Having said that, this works for me. See attached...
