How do I disable email formatting.
I'd like to enter email addresses in a certain column as plain text but it gets automatically formatted in a way that opens Outlook. I just want to enter something like as plain text without it turning into a link that opens up an email program. Thanks for any help. -- dwilliams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dwilliams's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30659 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=503211 |

How do I disable email formatting.
Maybe I should have given the version - excel 2000 - does that make a difference? There's a "ToolsAutoCorrect" menu item but not a "ToolsAutoCorrect OptionsAuto Format as You Type" option. Under the "ToolsAutoCorrect" I unchecked everthing ( there was nothing about auto format) but got the same results. -- dwilliams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dwilliams's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30659 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=503211 |

You can't turn that off in Excel up through Excel 2000.
You can have a macro immediately wipe out the link as soon as it is created, but the method is a nuisance. I would suggest just letting them get created (even if you have Excel 2002 and up) and then remove all that you don't want all at one time. Removing object hyperlinks from a Cell or cell range (#DelHyperlinks) http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel...#DelHyperlinks Also contains tips on not taking a hyperlink, like after clicking down wait before releasing left mouse button, or use the arrow keys. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "dwilliams" wrote in message ...

How do I disable email formatting.
The autocorrect option affects all worksheets and workbooks.
I have a form that I want OTHERS to use, which asks for an email addresss, but I don't want Outlook to automatically start when they key the address into Excel. Is there a way?
