Everytime I place an e-mail address in Excel it turns into a hyperlink. Does anyone know of a way to make Excel NOT create hyperlinks? I have gone through the options but been unable to find a way.

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

AskWoody LoungerAugust 24, 2002 at 7:42 am #611152Hi,
As a permanent solution I suggest to run automatically a macro that would test any entry regarding the presence of the “@” sign inside of the last string entered.
I’m not mastering enough VBA to provide you all the syntax but if my suggestion makes sense I’m confident that other loungers could help.

AskWoody LoungerAugust 26, 2002 at 7:49 am #611400It’s an AutoCorrect setting, but you can’t change it in Excel AFAIK. You must do this in Word, but it will apply to all Office applications.
In Word, select Tools/AutoCorrect…
Activate the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
Uncheck the Internet and Network paths box.
Click OK.You must at least exit and restart Excel, perhaps even restart your PC before this will apply.
