Default Hide or show hyperlinks

I have created and large document with a table of contents and an index.
Using a combination of bookmarks and hyperlinks, I can click on a Table of
Contents entry or Index entry and jump to the appropriate location in the
document (word, paragraph, page, or picture, etc.)

This works great and comes with an added advantage. I can right-clcik on
the link of a particular Table of Contents or index entry and copy the hyperlink
and then paste it into OneNote. Thereafter I can clcik on the link in OneNote
and go to a specific word, page, paragraph, etc in the Word document.

However, when I originally created the links in the Word document's Table
of Contents and index it created the normal and expected blue underlined
hyperlink. What I'd like to be able to do is hide the hypelink underlining
and color so as to appear as normal text in the document while still acting
as a hyperlink, sort of like a hotspot. Ideally, I'd like to be able to turn
this capability on or off at will. This way, if I print the paper, no one
would know that there were hyperlinks but if I open the document I could
jump around in the document at will.

Is there a way to do this? Are there any macros to accomplish this or can
someone give me some help in this area? Ideally I'd like to attach them to
buttons that would appear in the Quick Menu at the top of Word.

Any help would be appeciated.

Michael

Default Hide or show hyperlinks

The formatting of hyperlinks is governed by the Hyperlink character style.
You can modify this as desired to change the formatting of all hyperlinks in
a document, with some exceptions: If you generate a TOC using Word's
built-in TOC field (rather than manually, as you appear to have done), the
entries are hyperlinked, and the Hyperlink style is applied but suppressed.
TOC entries don't appear blue and underlined unless you unlink the TOC (at
which point they're no longer actually hyperlinks). Similarly, REF fields
that are also hyperlinks don't display the hyperlink formatting (and it is
surprisingly difficult to compel them to).

Default Hide or show hyperlinks

Hello Suzanne,

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I did maually create the Table of contents
as well as other links within the documet that allowed me to move to specific
pointd within the document. For instance I may click on a T of C entry that
takes me to the a heading on page three and after reading the third paragraph
in that section I click on a link that takes me deeper into the document
to a section dealing with similar content. For this reason I chose to manually
make the links. My reasoning probrably makes no sense to anyone but me.

At any rate, could you help me with the specifics of how to find and change
the hyperlink style? Also, is it possible to easily switch back and forth
from the modified hyperlink style and the original?

Thanks,
Michael

See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html. Basically, you
would have to modify the style every time you wanted to change the view, but
conceivably macros could be written to do this.

Hello Suzanne,

Thanks Suanne. I created a new still based on the original built in Hyperlnk
style and named it Hyperlinks off and renamed the original Hyperlinks on.
All working the way I wanted it now. I really appreciate your help.
