A user received an Excel spreadsheet of name and e-mail addresses. When I
clicked in the cell that contained the e-mail address it launched a new
mail
message in Outlook with the e-mail address in the "To:" field.

Is there any way to turn this off..I tried to make the cells all text but
this did not help.

Thank you.
