I have a friend at work who was using Excel (2003) and was typing using the
@
character for something totally unrelated to an email hyperlink and Excel
turned all of the cells in her spreadsheet using the @ symbol into
hyperlinks. I used replace to get rid of the "@" and turn it into "at",
but
it remained a hyperlink. I got rid of the hyperlink by right clicking each
cell and deleting it. Is there someway to get Excel to automatically not
assume you are typing in a hyperlink?
