    Change multiple different hyperlinks to display "generic" text globally

    I have a large number of different hyperlinks to various different websites in different cells in Excel (2003) and I am trying to change the viewable text in ALL these cells to a simple word link "weblink" rather than see all the hyperlink address.

    I know it can be done manually by right-clicking the cell and "Edit Hyperlink" but I would like to do this globally everywhere I have a hyperlink so it doesn't take my all of my natural life to complete the task. Can anyone provide direction?

    Thank you.

    I tried to use the above but it didn't work for me. Is there some way I have to activate the command?

    You simply type the line in the immediate window and press ENTER to execute the line of code.

    I select all the hyperlinks in my column and perform this but it only changes the text to display in the first link.

    Is there a way to isolate the text to a column? instead of all hyperlinks.
