Hiding a column of hyperlinks behind a column of numbers

[cmiling]

I have two adjacent columns in Excel 2007: one with numbers, one with
hyperlinks. I wish to "place" the column of hyperlinks behind the column of
numbers, so if one clicks on the "number" the hyperlink will open. I know how
to do this to each individual cell one at a time, but the columns have a
couple thousand numbers and hyperlinks. Is there a way I can combine or merge
the columns all at once to do what I want? Thank you for any response.

Are your hyperlinks the result of the
=HYPERLINK()
function or are they Inserted hyperlinks??

I am new at excel, so I hope I communicate properly...I imported a file which
contained all data, including the hyperlinks, so that would be "INSERTED".
