Default Hide or show hyperlinks

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 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

At any rate
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).

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
