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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jay's right. Additionally, it'll only show visited on YOUR machine or on
someone else's who HAS visited your site.

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'.

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:

1. Select the hyperlink text that you want to keep blue.
2. Right-click on the selected text and choose "Edit Hyperlink" from the context menu.
3. In the "Edit Hyperlink" dialog box, click on the "ScreenTip" button.
4. In the "ScreenTip" dialog box, click on the "Hyperlink" button.
5. In the "Hyperlink" dialog box, click on the "Font" button.
6. In the "Font" dialog box, choose the blue color that you want to use for your hyperlinks.
7. Click "OK" to close all the dialog boxes.

Now, your hyperlinks should be blue at all times, regardless of whether they have been visited or not.

PHP Code:

// Sample macro code
Sub MakeHyperlinksBlue()
    With ActiveDocument.Styles("Hyperlink")
        .Font.Color = wdColorBlue
    End With
End Sub
