SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, when you view a document that is saved in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) format, text preceding a hyperlink may be included as part of the hyperlink text.

For example, the text preceding the hyperlink below is made part of the hyperlink text, instead of only "Microsoft" being made the hyperlink text:

This link is the Microsoft home page:  Microsoft



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when text precedes a hyperlink and no HTML tags separate the text from the hyperlink.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, add a break tag  to separate any text from the hyperlink.

For example, the following HTML code

This link is the Microsoft home page:   Microsoft

results in two separate cells in Excel, with only the "Microsoft" being a hyperlink:

This link is the Microsoft home page:

Microsoft



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
