Try this:

Create a hyperlink in a cell
Click on the hyperlink to follow it.

Select Excel again
From the Excel Main Menu:
<format<style

You'll see 2 new styles listed in the drop down:
Hyperlink
and
Followed Hyperlink

Select: Hyperlink......Click [Modify]....Note the settings.
Select: Followed Hyperlink......Click [Modify]
......use the same settings as the Hyperlink style

Does that help?

Is there a way to set hyperlinks in Excel to stay the same color after
they
have been clicked as they were before they were clicked? Right now they
start out blue, but when I click on them they turn purple. I'd rather
they
stayed blue (or whatever other color I set them up to be to begin with).

Thanks in advance.
