Default How to stop Excel from underlining hyperlinks?

You can change the Hyperlink Style, too.

Format|Style|Choose hyperlink in the dropdown box.
Click the Modify button
On the Font tab, change the underline from Single to None.

This style is associated with the workbook. You'll have to do the same thing
for each workbook where you want this behavior.

In Excel 2002 10.2614.2625, I have a worksheet in which I never want
to see the contents of any cell underlined, ever.

To implement this, I can press Ctrl-A to hi-lite the sheet, then Ctrl-
U (either once or twice, depending on whether cell I'm sitting on is
already undelined) to kill all underlines thruout the sheet.

Henceforth, Excel behaves very well and doesn't underline new input--
even URLs, which is nice.

BUT, it always undelines newly-inputted hyperlinks. For example, if I
enter =HYPERLINK(<something) into a cell and press Enter, the thing
is then underlined, and I gotta de-underline it. And I've got hundreds
of the little buggers.

Is there any way to stop Excel from doing that?

Thanks much.
