Default Hide or show hyperlinks

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.

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 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
