I'm hoping someone can help. I copied and pasted a long list of hyperlinks to a new spreadsheet in Excel 2016 in my Windows 2010 OS. The hyperlinks are now a mix of colors. Some are the standard "Hyperlink blue" and others are black. I found the following on the Microsoft Office Support site and followed the instructions but they are still a mix of "Hyperlink blue" and black. Any suggestions?

Change the appearance of hyperlink text

You can change the appearance of all hyperlink text in the current workbook by changing the cell style for hyperlinks.

On the Home tab, in the Styles group, click Cell Styles.

Under Data and Model, do the following:
To change the appearance of hyperlinks that were not clicked, right-click Hyperlink, and then click Modify.
To change the appearance of hyperlinks that were clicked, right-click Followed Hyperlink, and then click Modify.
Note: The Hyperlink cell style is available only when the workbook contains at least one hyperlink. The Followed Hyperlink cell style is available only when the workbook contains a hyperlink that was clicked.

In the Style dialog box, click Format.

On the Font tab and Fill tab, select the formatting options that you want, and then click OK.

Notes:
The options that you select in the Format Cells dialog box appear as selected under Style includes in the Style dialog box. You can clear the check boxes for any options that you don't want to apply.
Changes that you make to the Hyperlink and Followed Hyperlink cell styles apply to all hyperlinks in the current workbook. You can't change the appearance of individual hyperlinks.









 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
I would say that if some of your HL's are not the same as others, that may indicate that they are not HL's. Have you tried clicking on them to see what happens?

To All,

I solved the issue quite by accident. Here's what I did:


right click on one of the hyperlinks ==>Quick Analysis==>Clear Formats

All the hyperlinks are "reset" to "Hyperlink blue".

Thanks FDibbins for your quick reply!!
