Link - deactivate being sent to source when click on linked cell?

I have figured out how to set up a link from a cell in one book to a cell
in another book. At first all i could do was the"hyperlink" thing with
underlines etc. Now i link and the display is in plain text format.
Problem is, tho, if i click on a cell that is linked to another book, it
takes me to that other book. (There are times i click on a linked cell to
change formatting etc.) Is there anyway to deativate the "feature" of
automatically being taken to the "source" workbook?

Thanks.

It sounds like your hyperlink is still there, but the cell isn't formatted in a
hyperlink style.

Select the cell and hit Insert|Hyperlink (or ctrl-k)

See if your link is still there.

====

If you have a link that appears normal, but you want it to look like a link
(blue, underlined), then select the cell
format|style|and choose hyperlink from the dropdown menu

(You may have to add a hyperlink to a helper cell for Hyperlink to show up in
that dropdown. After you have one, you can clean up that helper cell
(Edit|clear).)
