Formatting email and web addresses in Excel
Hi all...
I want to put email and web addresses in my worksheets, but I do not want them to be active links. IOW, they should be just text, not links to emails or web pages. I have tried formatting the cells as text and general. I have even put the web address without the www., but it still reformats it! Any tips??? Thanks! JJ |

Formatting email and web addresses in Excel
