How to Change Existing Hyperlinks in Microsoft Excel 2000

The "Change Hyperlink" window is identical in Excel 2000 and 2003.

You can automatically create a hyperlink to a website in Microsoft Excel 2000 by typing a URL into a cell. You can also create hyperlinks that link to files on your computer, create new Office documents, or reference another location in the workbook. Once you've created a hyperlink, you can edit it by right-clicking the hyperlink and selecting "Edit Hyperlink" in the menu that appears.

Instructions

1. Run the Excel 2000 application and open your XLS workbook file.

2. Right-click the cell that contains the hyperlink that you would like to edit and click "Edit Hyperlink" to open a new window.

3. Change the contents of the "Text to display" box if you would like different text displayed in the cell.

4. Click an icon on the left side of the box to change the type of hyperlink reference. You can hyperlink to a file or Web page, to another location in the active workbook or to a new Office document.

5. Specify a new address, or file that your hyperlink should point to in the center of the window. If you are linking to a file or Web page, then you can either browse to the location or you can type the link directly into the "Address" field.

6. Click the "Remove Link" button if you would like to remove the hyperlink from the cell.

7. Click "OK" to save changes to your hyperlink.
