Keeping a hyperlink blue
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 |

Answer: Keeping a hyperlink blue
Hi Phil,
Sure, I can help you with that. To keep your hyperlinks blue at all times, you can add some CSS code to your website or document. Here are the steps to do it in Microsoft Word:
Now, your hyperlinks should be blue at all times, regardless of whether they have been visited or not. PHP Code:

Keeping a hyperlink blue
Jay's right. Additionally, it'll only show visited on YOUR machine or on
someone else's who HAS visited your site. ************ Hope it helps! Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Soccerman58" wrote in message ...

Keeping a hyperlink blue (or whatever color)
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. Larry I wish there were some "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

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. -- Suzanne S.

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. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

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.

But then I'd lose my confidentiality at these groups, which I keep for a
reason. :-) Also, there's still the question of pasting web page text into OE. Even if the links are consistent in the web page and even in Word, they are often inconsistent in the e-mail. I wish I could get control of this. It's maddening to have an automatic feature that you can't control. Larry "John Waller" wrote in message ...

Keeping a hyperlink blue (or whatever color)
What seems to be the case is that each website has its own rules governing the color of followed hyperlinks. In some sites, the followed link is different from the unfollowed, in others it's not. But then, if you copy text from a web page into an e-mail, even though the followed links had the same color in the web page as the unfollowed, in the e-mail the unfollowed links will have a different color. (In my case, the followed links are purple, the unfollowed are blue, and I want them all to be purplse.) So the question is, is there any way to make the links in the e-mail all be the same (followed) color, other than manually clicking on all the links in the web page prior to copying the web page text into the e-mail? And then another question: Is all this irrelevant from the point of view of how the text appears to the recipient of the e-mail? Let's say I've clicked on all the links on the web page prior to copying into the e-mail, so that the links are all purple in the e-mail. But when another person receives the e-mail, he hasn't clicked on any of those links on HIS computer. So does that mean that when he looks at the e-mail the links will all have the unfollowed color?

Keeping a hyperlink blue
Hi Phil,
If this is on a website then you can use apply CSS formatting to the hyperlinks and it's likely that most, but not all people will see them stay the same color (although that may also irritate some people who try to follow the links from your page). Another method is to produce the hyperlink as a small gif file then attach the hyperlink to that graphic. If you're doing this in email then keep in mind that it's not uncommmon in businesses to have incoming mail set to be displayed as 'plain text'. ======= "Soccerman58" wrote in message | 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.

Here is another oddity. Yesterday I sent to a list of recipients an
e-mail with web page text copied into to it. There were a couple of hyperlinks in the text, that were purple. Someone just sent me a reply, and in the reply the hyperlinks are now blue.

But isn't the original coloring coming from its source (e.g. a web page?) BTW how are you copying these links? Perhaps if you copy them with right-click Copy Shortcut (e.g.) they won't be colored? E.g. I imagine that only the anchor text will be colored not its href value. Similarly you can force a piece of text to lose all its style attributes by pasting it first into a new Notepad window, then selecting it from there and recopying. Note also, that when the source is anchor text that we are assuming generally that it matches the related href value. In cases where the anchor text and the captured link do not match you would probably have to do something like copy the anchor text to capture and set its color and then paste the copied Shortcut in such a way that it inherited that color. Thanks anyway. I have a feeling this is a problem without a solution. :-) I haven't tried it but supposedly you can create your own stylesheet to effect your preferences more specifically. (same dialog -- in IE press Alt-T,O,Alt-e,d) If so perhaps you could use it to force your preferences for link coloring only. Again, though, that would only affect the source of the links and the way you copied and pasted them would ultimately affect their final attributes in your document. Robert --- |
