how to get rid of hyperlinks when cutting and pasting e-mail addre

[Mike Nolan]

i just made a post concerning the problem of cutting and pasting e-mail
addresses into excel. they always come out as hyperlinks and it's driving me
crazy. i was told to do the following and it does not work. possibly i am
going to be forced to type every e-mail address in and if i do that it
doesn't happen.

Click Tools>AutoCorrect Options... then click the "AutoFormat As You Type"
tab, and uncheck "Internet and network paths with hyperlinks"

please e-mail me at: (e-mail address removed)

thank you.

Mike, when you paste the hyperlinks into Excel, choose the paste values
option instead of the regular paste. (If you're using the Paste icon in the
Excel toolbar, click on the little arrow to the right of it and select the
"Values" option; or right-click, choose "Paste Special..." then choose the
Values option).

Three points:
1 Don't start a new thread. Keep the discussion in your original thread.
2 Don't ask people to e-mail you. If you ask a question in the group,
then look for the reply in the group. That way other people can learn.
3 It is pointless just to say "it doesn't work". If you want further
help you'll need to explain what you're doing, what you want to happen, and
what the error symptoms are.

If your concern is that the answer which you were given stopped you
generating new hyperlinks but left you with your existing ones and you want
to know how to get rid of them, either Google for:
Excel "remove hyperlinks" [and take some of the answers with a pinch of
salt]
