Hi everyone,

any ideas how to avoid email and internet addresses generally? I'm tired
of removing each hyperlink.

Thanks in advance,
Nathalie

I assume you mean you want them not to be created as hyperlinks
automatically when the format is recognised on data entry?

You didn't mention which version of Excel (it always helps).

In versions prior to 2007,
Tools AutoCorrect options Autoformat as you type uncheck
"Internet and network paths with hyperlinks"

Thanks, that was exactly my question too.

I have another question related to this topic:
When I have a row or a column with cells with hyperlinks is there a
possibility to change this in one step? Normally I just click right on
every cell to remove the hypertext. A lot of work ...

regards, Andreas.

Just select the cells and run this macro

Sub DeleteHyperlinksFromSelection()
Selection.Hyperlinks.Delete
End Sub

You're right. Even if I didn't need this feature at the moment, I was
lucky to find a solution for a problem I never had up to now ... ;-)

Hi Nathalie,

You can disable all hyperlinks without code by selecting an empty cell and
choosing Copy, then select all the cells containing hyperlinks and choose
Edit, Paste Special, Add.

This works in all versions of Excel but in 2007 the cells still "look like"
they are hyperlinks. Just change the format.
