How to insert a hyperlink in text in a paragraph

[duketter]

Excel 2007 - Is it possible to add a hyperlink to only a couple words in an
entire sentence/paragraph in a cell. For example:
"Please review the test.doc to access the instructions for the file"

I only want the hyperlink on the test.doc words in the sentence, not the
entire sentence.

Not within a single cell. It is easy in Word or PowerPoint.

The Insert|Hyperlink type and the =hyperlink() type both apply to the entire
cell.

But you can cheat.

You could add a rectangle from the Drawing toolbar (hide the borders!) just over
the text you want. Then assign a hyperlink to that rectangle. Format the
characters under the rectangle so that it looks like a hyperlink (blue
underlined).
