Test for font color (WD 2007)
I have a long document (in Word 2007) that has hyperlinks that were
created in an odd red/brown. I am trying to do a find/replace to change the color to standard hyperlink blue. I am unable to determine the color of the font that was used. Therefore any find I do fails. Is there a way to test for the font color and determine the color name or the RGB component? MS had published a method to do this, but it only works in 2003, and not 2007. thanks. |

Have you tried to modify the Hyperlink style itself?
If you don't see this style listed in the Styles and Formatting dialog, change the list "Show" to all styles. Modify the style from the Red/brown to blue, then OK. All the hyperlink on this style should hopefully change. IF they don't change, do a Replace for the style for Find Hyperlink, Replace with Hyperlink, that should refresh all of them. The instructions above are for 2003 and prior, but should hopefully point you to the right area in 2007.

Test for font color (WD 2007)
Hi Boomer,
In addition to the suggestion to review or change the hyperlink style in Word, note that in Word 2007 hyperlink and followed hyperlink colors are two of the colors that can change on the fly, following a definition of the currently applied Word theme. To see if that is the case, with the document open on screen use Page Layout=Theme colors The currently active theme color set will be outlined in yellow (may be easier to see which one is active from Page Layout=Themes) While in the 'Theme colors' dialog mouse over the list of choices to see if the hyperlink changes colors during the process. Right clicking on any of the color theme choices and choosing 'Edit' will show what the hyperlink and followed hyperlink choices are for the current theme. When you're in the Edit Theme Colors dialog, to get the RGB value of the hyperlink color for that theme click on Hyperlink=More Colors=Custom =============== "BoomerM3" wrote in message ...
