Hello,

I am trying to setup my spreadsheet for a tab delimited file which will
eventually be processed by Goggle base. One of the attributes on the file
is the URL addresses. The problem I am having is that Google Base will not
accept the URL as a link. It is to be written out, but not as a link.
Every time I try to write out the addresses they turn to a link. Can
somone tell me how I can shut this linking feature off?

Thanks

David
