Inserting Hyperlinks

EasySpreadsheet allows you to insert a hyperlink into your sheet.  This link could be to a file, an e-mail address, or a Web Page address.

To insert a hyperlink:

  1. Select the cell that you want to insert the hyperlink into. It is recommended that you select an empty cell - otherwise, your cell contents will be erased and replaced by the hyperlink.

  2. Go to the Insert menu, and select Hyperlink. Or, if you are in Advanced Mode, click the icon that looks like a chain-link (shown below).

  1. An Insert Hyperlink window will appear.

  2. In the Text to Display box, type in the text you want to label your hyperlink with. By default, this text will be underlined and colored blue in your sheet, to show that it can be clicked with the mouse. For example, if you type 'Johnny's e-mail' in the Text to Display box, the hyperlink will appear as Johnny's e-mail in your sheet. (Note: If you do not want your hyperlink to be underlined and blue, you can format the text as you would any other text when you return to your sheet. See Formatting Text and Numbers.)

  3. In the next field, type the File location, E-mail address, or Web Page address:

  1. Click OK when you are finished. Your hyperlink will be inserted into the selected cell in your sheet.
