After searching the forum I've managed to find a way to get rid of the
irritating shading of hyperlinks by selecting 'white' as the field shading
colour. However, while this overcomes the problem in cells that have a white
background colour anyway, the downside is that cells with an individual fill
colour now have hyperlinks shaded in white.
Judging by the number of results I got when 'Googling' for a fix to this I
would suggest that a lot of people find this issue rather annoying, so I'd like
to suggest that a future update might include the addition of a 'no colour'
option in the Field Shadings colour selection menu of the
Tools>Options>Appearance section.
