How do I change a cell in Excel 2003 (Office 2003) which has an e-mail
address in it from automatically sending a message to that address? I really
only want to use the e-mail address as text as a default condition. So that
when a click is made on that cell it does not set up for a message.

For a single cell:
- Right-click and select "Remove Hyperlink".

For multiple cells:
- Enter a 1 into any blank cell
- Copy that cell
- Select all cells containing hyperlinks
- From the EDIT Menu, choose "Paste Special"
- Check the "Multiply" option
- Click OK
- Delete the 1 you entered originally

To prevent future cells from becoming Hyperlinks:
- From the TOOLS Menu, choose "AutoCorrect Options"
- Select the "Autoformat As You Type" Tab
- Uncheck "Internet and network paths with hyperlinks"
- Click OK

Even Ctrl-Y also works..
