Hyperlink in Excel

DaCruise · 06. Jan 2012, 07:05 AM

Hi All,

I tried to search for solution but to no avail..

Can someone please guide me on how to launch hyperlinks in excel with Chrome/Firefox (any web browsers other than IE)? This is because it seems like IE9 crashes each time I tried to launch certain hyperlinks from my file (read..only certain hyperlinks, not all of it).

It's weird and a headache for me...please help. Thanks in advance!

p/s : Or is there any other methods that I can use so that I can read those hyperlinks without crashing?

Welcome to the forum

.

IE must be the default browser, and that's why the links are opening in IE.

You can change the default browser to Firefox, or Chrome. The option will be there in their Settings.

Alternatively, you can just copy the link and open in browser of your choice.

Thanks Anupam.

I already set Chrome as my default browser...totally no idea why IE keeps popping up.

Nonetheless, I think I figured out the reason. I re-link all the hyperlinks and apparently they seems to be opening up with Chrome now!Hmmmmm, now one problem solved...next up, need to check why IE9 keeps crashing on those.

Thanks again!
