Default Why does Excel not recognize email address?

Tried the mailto:..... and no soap, doesn't work. The ones that do work and
the ones that don't work are all formated the same as "General". I tried the
on several of the addresses.

Try typing mailto: in front of one of the entries that hasn't converted to a
hyperlink format and let us know if it remains text or changes to a link.
That will clue us in on how to fix this. For example if you have

change it to

no spaces anywhere in there.

Also choose one of the non-linking entries and choose Format | Cells and see
what specific format is assigned to it - let us know.

I checked the "Internet and network paths with hyperlinks" was already checked.
This is driving me nuts, because the sheets I am preparing need these as
hyperlinks and I can find no way to fix it.

Try selecting "AutoCorrect Options" from the TOOLS Menu. Then select the
"AutoFormat As You Type" tab. Check the box called "Internet and network
paths with hyperlinks".

when I type an email address it should be recognized, but about 1/3 of the
time it does and the rest it does not. If it does not and I right click on
the cell "hyperlink" is greyed out. Any suggestions to solving this problem?
