How do I edit a link in a cell?
Maybe something has changed, or I'm just being senile, but I don't see a way to edit an existing link. I can create a new one in another cell but not edit the one I created last year. I thought there was an option in the edit menu, but "add a link" now seems to be in the format menu, but with no edit option. I've edited links previously, but today I'm unable to select the text that has been made into a link.

I tried it here with no difficulty, but it was not a link created a year ago and maybe I used an easy example.
Add Link is in the format menu. It adds a link but does nothing with regards to editing one already there. However, "Add Link" gets replaced with "Edit Link" when a link is selected. Same Command K shortcut. Click in the white space of your cell to select the cell, double click in the white space to select the link, Command K to edit the link.

It's definitely not you. I had extreme difficulty just selecting the text in a cell with a hyperlink. The only workaround I can think of is to create a new one in another cell then cut & paste it into the desired cell. Certainly not ideal. Editing a link in a cell is so easy in Number 2.3/iWork '09.
The trick for me is to be sure to click on the white space after a link. First dragging the column a little wider can make that easier.
A quick triple-click in the white space should select the link. Follow that with command-k.

OK, I've got it now. It's just difficult positioning the cursor. I don't recall it being that difficult previously.
Also, has the menu option moved from the edit menu to the format menu or has it always been there, perhaps I'm thinking of other apps.
So is it just that selecting the text is difficult rather than it's no longer an option? If so, I'll practice and hopefully learn how it's now done.
