Linking to a Webpage
You can add a hyperlink that opens a webpage in your default web browser.
To add hypertext that opens a webpage:

If you use text that starts with “www” or “http,” the text automatically becomes a
hyperlink. To turn off this feature, choose Numbers > Preferences, click Auto-Correction,
and deselect “Automatically detect email and web addresses.” This setting is computer
specific, so if the spreadsheet is opened on a computer with a different setting, that
computer’s setting is used instead.
2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Hyperlink inspector button, and then select
“Enable as a hyperlink.”
3 Choose Webpage from the Link To pop-up menu.
