Basically, I'd like to know whether keyboard shortcut exists which would copy the value of the hyperlink formula of a cell to cache (which then I can insert into browser). Since Excel first makes a check of the hyperlink apparently against a "Microsoft Office Protocol Discovery" and since my urls require some authorization information, the data passed to the browser differs from the original hyperlink.. And hence I'm asking whether a described keys combination exists to copy the hyperlink of a cell. Of course if you know how to make my urls be passed to browser unaltered, you'd do me a very great favour by sharing that knowledge ..
