When a hyperlink is present in a cell, a message pops up that says 'Click once to follow. Click and hold to select this cell.' I want to reverse this process without changing the message. Is there a way to make it where you have to 'Click and hold' to follow the hyperlink?

Hi Kenneth!
Yes it's a defaults that can't be changed except the message.
You are very much welcome
Kind Regards, Shakiru
Shakiru,
Thank you for your response. I want the message to be unchanged. It's the default action that I want to change/reverse. But it seems that I can't because of the default setting you mentioned.
Regards,
Kenny
Hi Kenneth S!
As far as I know, you can actually edit the message (called ScreenTip) but the click to link to the Website/location is a default setting that can be changed.
To edit the pop-up message, Right-click the hyperlink> click edit> Click on the screen tip and enter the message you want to display.
Kind Regards, Shakiru
