Cyberslick,
In Excel (my version is 2000, details might be different in higher versions) select a cell, than Insert>Hyperlink.
Fill in the blanks and OK.
That's it. Only text, no picture.

I have an icon on my desktop that connects me with this forum. I click it, and ...voila!...here I am. How can I copy that icon to an Excel worksheet? I tried dragging it, but it created a new workbook...not at all what I wanted.
