This Q has been asked since at least 1999.

Has MS ever fixed Excel to let you disable hyperlink screentips? They
are an extreme annoyance.

I see people saying that toggling Excel's screentips property doesn't
affect hyperlinks.

I can't handle any workaround requiring you to edit every cell, such
as making the screentip's text a single space (since they also say a
null string doesn't work--even when Microsoft can't get it right, they
can't get it right), for two reasons.

One, I've got hundreds of the buggers. Two, I'm not using the
Hyperlink dialog. All my hyperlinks are a simple =HYPERLINK()
function.

Thanks much.
