I don't know how to prevent this, but I do know how to fix your "im-pounded"
hyperlinks. Select the cells and run:

Sub hyper_fixer()
For Each r In Selection
r.Value = Mid(r.Value, 2, Len(r.Value) - 2)
r.Select
Application.SendKeys "{F2}"
Application.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
DoEvents
Next
End Sub

This sub removes the leading and trailing pound from each cell and then does
F2 to the cell to make the hyperlink "hot"
