sometimes when i copy and pase a link into a table cell the link stays in a line like this
but then sometimes it expands the entire cell like this which is not what i want. How do i stop that from happening.
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.

Turn "Wrap Text" on for the cell containing the overflowing hyperlink.

Another quick fix is just type a blank in the adjacent column and copy it all the way down. That's what I do!
Try it, it works :)

wrap text didn't work for me. The column/row stays of the same size even after using wrap text that is why i proposed this second solution.
