    Does changing this setting apply only to your session or is the option change saved to the spreadsheet itself. For example, I have a very large sheet used by multiple people, and we have data in it that Excel always wants to auto-convert to a hyperlink (not wanted). So if I change this option, am I doing it only for my self, or will this change apply to anyone (preferred option) that tries to edit this same spreadsheet?
