Linking to a Webpage

You can add a hyperlink that opens a webpage in your default web browser.

To add hypertext that opens a webpage:

1

Select the text that you want to turn into a hyperlink.

If you use text that starts with “www” or “http,” the text automatically becomes a
hyperlink. To turn off this feature, choose Numbers > Preferences, click Auto-Correction,
and deselect “Automatically detect email and web addresses.” This setting is computer
specific, so if the spreadsheet is opened on a computer with a different setting, that
computer’s setting is used instead.

2

Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Hyperlink inspector button, and then select

“Enable as a hyperlink.”

3

Choose Webpage from the Link To pop-up menu.

4

Type the webpage’s address in the URL field.

The Hyperlink inspector button

Type the URL that you
want to link to.

Select to disable all

hyperlinks so you can

easily edit them.

You can also quickly create a hyperlink using the Insert menu. Place an insertion point
somewhere in your spreadsheet, and then choose Insert > Hyperlink > Webpage.
A link is added to your spreadsheet and the Hyperlink inspector opens. Type the
webpage’s address in the URL field.
