Keeping a hyperlink fresh

Hi,

I have created a hyperlink in word. Once I click on that hyperlink then the
hyperlink loses its freshness ( that is it no longer has the blue color
which it has before clicking on it.) Is there any way to always keep it
fresh ( I mean my hyperlink works each time I click on it as expect it to,
only thing is it will not appear blue after the first time.)

Regards,
Hari

Remove the Hyperlink character style and apply a new character style defined
as blue and underlined.

You can remove the Hyperlink style by selecting the hyperlink and pressing
Ctrl+Spacebar. You could then apply direct font formatting (while the
hyperlink is still selected, go to Format Font and select Font Color: Blue
and a single underline). These attributes can also be applied using toolbar
buttons or (in the case of the underline) keyboard shortcuts. If you want to
be able to apply the blue+underline formatting to text in a single stroke,
you can create a character style and assign it to a keyboard shortcut. To
create a new character style, go to Format | Style and click New. Select
Character as the style type. If your formatted hyperlink is still selected,
the formatting will already be defined; just give your style a name, click
OK, then Apply.

This brings up a tricky issue with hyperlink formatting. I have had
documents in Word in which the hyperlink style had been changed to dark
blue. But when these documents were made into a web page, some of the
hyperlinks in the web page appeared as red or maroon color, while others
retained their dark blue color.

I imagine this has something to do with the fact that some of the
hyperlinks had been travelled, and others not. But since they were the
same color in the Word document, why did they take on different colors
when posted in a Web page?

There are character styles for Hyperlink and Followed Hyperlink, which were
perhaps set to be the same thing in the Word doc, but not in the Web page,
which presumably has its own stylesheet?

An alternate method for the original poster, I imagine, would have been to
set those two styles to be identical, instead of a new personal hyperlink
style.

In other words, the hyperlink keeps its attribute of being followed or
not followed, regardless of what the style for a followed or not
followed hyperlink is. So when those hyperlinks are pasted into some
other application, like a web page, the web page picks up on each
hyperlink's type and makes it that color.

That's a drag, because then there's no way that you can assure that the
hyperlinks will be a uniform color in the web page. Is there some way
that all followed hyperlinks can be made into pristine hyperlinks, or
vice versa?

Greetings--
You need to link your Web page to a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS)

Here are the "pseudo-class" codes to use for hyperlinks:

a:link {
color: blue;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
color: blue;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
color: red;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:active {
color: red;
text-decoration: none;
}

Of course you can change the colours.

Click on them all before doing anything with the doc?

Find and Replace the character style before uploading?

I'm still getting my head around the idea of Word re-applying a style just
because I clicked on a link, but I assume those two methods above should
work.
