Problem

I have hyperlinks in some Excel 2010 (both .xlsx and .xls formats) worksheets. If I enable sharing of the workbook I can no longer edit or create hyperlinks - the options no longer exist on the menu and/or are greyed out. How can I fix and/or workaround this?

Low Risk

I had the same problem and fixed by using the =HYPERLINK function in the cell rather than the "insert hyperlink" option. Make sure to place the location and friendly_name in quotes (" ").
