Thanks in advance if you tell me how to do it. When you insert a hyperlink, Word automatically applies the character style named Hyperlink to it. That style is defined as the default paragraph font plus underline plus blue color. You can define your own character styles (with whatever names make sense to you) with other text colors. After you create a hyperlink, apply one of your character styles to replace the Hyperlink style. I don't believe there's any way to make this automatic, though -- but I'd suggest creating a custom toolbar and adding a button to it for each of your special styles. When you click (or Ctrl+click, depending on version) on the link to follow it, Word automatically applies the style FollowedHyperlink to change it to the violet color. You can do the same kind of replacement there if you like. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Thanks Jay,
What I forgot to mention was that I wanted to save the document as a Web page. Unfortunately, when saving as HTML, Word changes formatting back to blue underline. As you might've guessed all that I wanted to do was to have the colour of the underline the same as the hyperlink text. This works fine if you save it as a doc file, but reverts back to blue underline if you save it as *.htm. It is possible to open a web page created by Word with the Notepad and manually edit HTML code, but it is very laborious. Unfortunately FrontPage or any other web design software are out of the question. Users who have to modify these web pages on our network are not trained in the web design software and don't have it installed. That is why I am trying to find a solution using Word. It is the only thing our users more or less understand. I would be grateful if you can come with some other ideas or workarounds. Thanks again, Val "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

If I change the definition of the Hyperlink Style so that Font Color
is Automatic instead of Blue, then the underline matches the text even when I save it as HTML. Does this not work for you?
