How do I change the default color of text that is hyperlinked in P

G

Guest

Fellow Earthlings:
I am using PowerPoint. I did not install it on this company PC. I want to
give some text hyperlinks. But the linked text is all light blue - too light
to be seen easily.

I cannot find how to change this. Please point me to the power to do so.

Thanx muchly,
ZB

You can change your hyperlink colors in 5 easy steps

1. Turn on the Slide Design task bar (if it's not already visible on the
right hand side of the screen) by going to Format > Slide Design
2. In the Slide Design task bar select Color Schemes
3. At the very bottom of the panel select Edit Color Schemes...
4. There you can change the color for Accent and hyperlinks and Accent and
followed hyperlinks
5. Apply your new color scheme

Tip: remember to use colors which contrast well with the background

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me directly

Thank you

"Take me to your litres, Earthling. ;-)"

They understand litres in the US!? ;-)

PS I dont think the method above will permanantly change the colour scheme,
you could either
4a add to standard color schemes

or with the scheme applied save as > save as type design template .pot -
filename "blank"

Did that answer the question / help?

If properly taught, we can understand almost anything. And I can't imagine a
better way to teach the concept of "litre (or liter)" than handing the student
that much beer.

Lesson two: we compare the litre said:

Right ... changing the scheme or adding it as a new standard scheme would apply
only to the template contained in the current presentation, not to PPT as a
whole or to any other presentations.

If you simply needed to update existing presentations based on the same
original template as the current one, you could also:

1) Save the current presentation after modifying the color (or litre if you
prefer) schemes

2) Open another presentation based on the same template

3) Choose Format, Slide Design, click "Design Templates, in the the Slide
Design pane, then use Browse (at bottom of pane) to choose the modified file
you just saved.

That'll bring in the new standard schemes you saved in the original and, since
the template's otherwise the same, shouldn't have any other effect on the
presentation.

Or ... why didn't I think of this before? ... Shyam's Color Scheme Manager.

Shyam's an equal opportunity speller: The page and menu say "color", but the
dialog box title has it as "colour". Ever the diplomat ... ;-)

We here north of the 49th went the whole way everything is metric. Yet it
still puzzles me why the American ounce (29.57mm) is larger than the
Imperial ounce (28.41mm) yet when you get to the gallons, the sizes are
reversed

I have no answer for that, except that if you measure weights and/or volumes
using linear units, you'll have to live with the consequences, be they expected
or odd. Be prepared for more of the latter than the former.

I think it may have something to do with the fact that USAgallons are defined
in Amerounces where Imperial gallons are (nowadays at least) defined in metric
units.

Imperial gallons have not changed. I recall, when I was going to school
(before there were paved roads), that was one of the stupid questions of the
day. which is larger the American ounce or the Canadian (Imperial) once. Of
course, unless you knew everyone would say Imperial.

Steve Rindsberg

Imperial gallons have not changed.

According to a couple sources (google for the Wiki entry, for example) the
definition changed in 1824, 1963 (to 4.545964592 l) and again in 1985 (to
4.54609 l).

Quickly, young Michael ... the difference in gills is .....?

Michael Koerner

Sorry, I just was not around for the 1824 change. As far as the other
changes it was just before home computers and people did not want to write
all those numbers. don't you just love copy and paste?

Michael Koerner

Did you mean metrist? Or is it because we drink quarts (not avaialble in the
US) there is less chance of getting warts

Steve Rindsberg

Sorry, I just was not around for the 1824 change.

And as gills go, not a man jack among us is used to 'em.
Whatever a man jack is. (something you prop your buddy up with after he's had
a few too many gills?)

I drank a lot of beer in the US over time, and never ever came across a
quart bottle. My apologies.

Gills aka noggin are about the same size of the original bottle of Coke I
think, around 5 or 6 fluid ounces. Aren't those new small cans around that
size?
