Formatting Hyperlinks
Boy, that's a mess. It probably would have been easier to trash the existing
TOCs and use the built-in TOC generation method. If you're too far in to change now, then there is a way to do what you need. Instead of reformatting every hyperlink manually, though, change the definitions of both the Hyperlink style and the Followed Hyperlink style so they include just "Default Paragraph Font" with no color or underline specified. (The links display with Hyperlink style before you click them, and with Followed Hyperlink style afterward.) -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. dslocum wrote: I need to take multiple existing Word documents and merge them into a single document and Save As a PDF.

Additionally, the various chapters are not all named correctly (i.e. Chapter B1 is named "Form Processing" in the TOC but is called "Batch Requesting Claims" in the document. This makes it impossible to run the TOC routine. My solution is to simply insert Bookmarks in the appropriate locations for each Chapter and place hyperlinks in the TOCs to get the reader where they need to go. My question is, I don't want the PDF's TOC to look like a bunch of hyperlinks but rather like a normal TOC. I have Reformatted the font in the TOCs from blue to black font and removed the underline; once I select the hyperlink, though, the font turns Purple. Is there a way to avoid having a selected hyperlink from changing colors or at least selecting the color I would like the font to change to? denny |

Formatting Hyperlinks
Jay, I am not in at all, I am testing and researching how to pull all of these documents together, but doing it "the right way" is not an option that I can utilize. The wording used are used for a specific reason. So, I will follow your advice and edit the definitions. But I don't know how. I am using Word 2007 and I cannot find anything on hyperlinks in the Styles group of my Home Ribbon. I would think that you are having me "modify" the hyperlink style. Is this true? d. -- dslocum |

I am using Word 2007 and I cannot find anything on hyperlinks in the Styles group of my Home Ribbon. I would think that you are having me "modify" the hyperlink style. Is this true? d. Yes, that's correct. Here's how: - Click the little arrow in the bottom right corner of the Styles group, or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S, to open the Styles task pane. - If you don't see the Hyperlink and FollowedHyperlink styles in the task pane list, click the Options link in the bottom right corner. In the Style Pane Options dialog, set the first dropdown to "All styles" and set the second one to "Alphabetical". - Right-click the Hyperlink style in the list and click Modify. Click the U button to turn off underlining, and set the color dropdown to Automatic. If you'd like to see the style in the Quick Style group on the ribbon, check the "Add to Quick Style list" box; leave the "Only in this document" option selected (the other one adds the change to the template, which you probably shouldn't do). Click OK. - Repeat the preceding step for the FollowedHyperlink style. - Save the document. It should now show hyperlinks the same as regular text, both before and after clicking them. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
