Hyperlinking pictures
Hi All!
Before Excel 2003, if I hyperlinked a jpg file to an Excel cell, clicking on the cell opened the linked jpg file in the default picture viewer. (In my case it is IrfanView.) In Excel 2003, the picture opens in Internet Explorer, which makes the whole process damned slow. (In IrfanView the picture pops up immediately.) Since I started to use Excel 2003, once something (dunnowhat) happened, and to my pleasure the hyperlinked jpg-s opened in IrfanView. But sadly I had to reinstall my computer, and after that, the system went back to opening the pictures in Internet Explorer. Does anyone know how can I setup the system in order to open hyperlinked jpg-s in my default picture viewer? It is already the default software for jpg-s, (actually for all images) in the folder settings / file types, but this has no effect in Excel. Thanks, Gabriel |

I had the same problem in 03 with .jpg files only. .jpeg, .bmp, etc. worked
fine. Since upgraded to 2007 I haven't had the problem again. But would be interested if you found a solution other than changing the file format. "Gabriel Holics" wrote: Hi All!

Ironically, my colleague has Office 2003 too, but his Excel opens the
hyperlinked jpg-s in the default viewer. (Irfanview in his case too.) I don't see any difference in any setups... Mysterious isn't it?
