Default Keeping a hyperlink blue (or whatever color)

I'll have to check into this further, but I know that on at least one
occasion, another person told me that an online webpage of mine had
inconsistently colored hyperlinks, and I saw the same inconsistency as
well from my computer. I assumed that everyone saw the same colors as
we did.

To clarify one step further, what governs the color you see (other

than
possibly having a particular color specified in the HTML tag of the
hyperlink, which is something Word doesn't do) is whether *you* have

visited
that page from *your* computer, which places those URLs in Internet
Explorer's cache. Another user who views that web page and hasn't

visited
any of those links with his/her computer will not see different

colors.

As Jay says, though, it affects the display only on your screen. And
many users *prefer* to have followed hyperlinks a different color.
I'd go crazy using Google if I couldn't see what pages/sites I'd
already tried and rejected.

But Jay, that's only going to affect the hyperlink as it appears in
Word, right? Since the issue goes beyond Word, I've cross-posted
this to the OE and the IE newsgroups.

I have had many problems with this issue. Links may be the same
color in Word (and I make links and followed links the same color
in my Normal template), and they may be the same color in a web
page, but then when I copy the web page text into an e-mail, some

of
them (the one's that haven't yet been clicked on in the Web page)
are a different color that I don't want. Then I have to clean them
up again.

Or I will have links in Word that are a uniform color, but I then
send the document to a website, and when it's posted online, some

of
the links are a different color.

I have been unable to figure out the rules that govern this

behavior
or how to get control of it.

Hi
I want to make it so that my hyperlinks are that bright electric
blue at all times in all states: hover, clicked, visited, I don't
care. At the moment I have hyperlinks in my resume that have a
mauve visited attribute and I don't want it.

I assume it means a change in my css or similar.

Anyone help please?

Thanks
Phil

In Format Styles, modify the FollowedHyperlink style.
