Simple links in Excel 2007
I have an list of companies that I want to add links to their websites. I
then want to save it as html to use on a website. I don't want the web addresses to show (=hidden) I just want to company name to appear. I'm sure this is the simplest thing to do but I haven't used Excel much lately (and 2007 not at all). Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Maureen |

Simple links in Excel 2007
This may work in 2007
In a cell enter: =HYPERLINK("http://www.cnn.com","news") this produces a nice click-able link with only the "friendly" name visible. Will also work if saved as .html -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200751 "MM" wrote: I have an list of companies that I want to add links to their websites.

Simple links in Excel 2007
Thanks Gary - that is exactly what I was looking for. It was actually quite
simple to do. Question # 2 - I want to add alt text that pops us when the cursor is over the link. I read the instructions and it says that I just need to right click and choose "alt text" but I don't see that option. Any ideas/ Thanks a bunch, Maureen "Gary''s Student" wrote: This may work in 2007 In a cell enter: =HYPERLINK("http://www.cnn.com","news") this produces a nice click-able link with only the "friendly" name visible.

Simple links in Excel 2007
Hi Maureen:
The popup message is associated with the other kind of hyperlink, the: Insert Hyperlink In Excel 2003, you use the Screentip button near the top of the hyperlink wizard. Once again, I don't know if this applies to 2007. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200751 "MM" wrote: Thanks Gary - that is exactly what I was looking for. It was actually quite simple to do.
