Converting Text to a hyperlink
But.... when I copy and paste values(as I'd like to move that cell to another book), Excel forgets that it is a hyperlink - ie clicking it no longer launches email... Ideas...? Regards D *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** |

Converting Text to a hyperlink
If you copy a hyperlink and then paste/special/value somewhere else, the copy
will be "cold" (un-clickable). To make the hyperlink "hot" just select the cell, touch F2, then touch ENTER. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu2007 "Darin Kramer" wrote: But.... when I copy and paste values(as I'd like to move that cell to another book), Excel forgets that it is a hyperlink - ie clicking it no longer launches email...
