Subject: Excel and hyperlinks
I use Excel 2000 to keep a list of email addresses. When an address is
entered in a cell, Excel, by default, makes it a hyperlink. It is possible,
but time consuming, to eliminate the hyperlinks one at a time. Can anyone
tell me how to change Excel so it doesn't create hyperlinks automatically?
Thank you, Bob
Bob, I found a tip and a snippet of code from this website forum and copied
it directly. Credit goes to Gord Dibben.
"To prevent in the future........
Tools>Autocorrect Options>Autoformat as you type. Uncheck the "replace as
you
type" box.
To get rid of current ones you can edit manually or run a macro on a
selected
range.
Sub removeAllLinksFromSelection()
Selection.Hyperlinks.Delete
End Sub

Hope this helps.
