Excel formatting colours....

As usual, MS Excel (2007) is driving me crazy

I have a nice neatly formatted spreadsheet that contains hyperlinks on some of the cells

I have even managed to turn off the auto underlining of the hyperlinked cells, AND changed the colour of the text :)

BUT, when I save it as an html file, for viewing on the web, the hyperlink colours are NOT what they are in the spreadsheet AND the dratted underlines are back :(

I've fiddled with every formatting option I can think of, but now I am stuck, so if there is an Excel guru out there, I'd appreciate some quick help

Thanks

OK, some follow up information

From what I can make out in the html source that Excel generates, the colours are EXACTLY how I want them - but neither IE nor Chrome display them the way they are specified.....

I'm surprised that you haven't reached the obvious conclusion. That it has nowt to do with Excel and everything to do with the way Web browsers choose to display hyper-links. You should be able to override this by adding some CSS to the generated html page.

Take a look here:

OK, got that

Snag is, using the stylesheet example I CAN change the colours of the hyperlinks, but then I also lose all the for,matting (font, text size, background colour etc) that I had specified in Excel

I think I'll try this in a webpage editor instead

Thanks for your help
