Excel 2003 has the default behavior that when you click on a hyperlink, you
are automatically brought to it. This should not be the default behavior.
The behavior should be like word, where you have to ctrl+click to activate
the hyperlink. The default action should be edit cell.

As word has the option to change this behavior, (tools-options-edit-use
ctrl+click to follow hyperlink), excel should as well

At best it's an annoyance, at worst a security risk because the destination
address is not shown and can be hidden; you don't know where it's taking you.

I hope this forum is moderated.
Way off topic, I clicked on post message to microsoft, I don't know why I
was brought to a usenet post page with categories that don't quite fit, I
don't want to be contacted, I don't care about the votes, I just wanted to
report a behavior that should be changed. THIS behavior should be changed...
