Hi,
My current work task requires I input a hyperlink from a web address into a cell, and repeat this a few thousand times. I've done this now several hundred times over, on two computers. I've observed that after a long series of repeatedly 1) moving the cursor to the cell in which I want to place the hyperlink and 2) pasting a working hyperlink, my Excel sheet ceases to automatically turn new pasted URLs into hyperlinks. I must manually enter them into the formula bar to get the same result. As you might imagine, this is a time-consuming extra step which slows down my progress toward completing this data set. Note that 1) I have done nothing to change the "auto-hyperlink" settings in my excel file, and 2) this event has happened with two different computers using Excel 2010.
This question was asked in a different form here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271856/en-us), however the article did not explain why copy-pasting hyperlinks has stopped functioning or how to resume functionality. Many thanks in advance if you know the answer.
