Cannot format hyperlink text

[Guest]

I have grouped three objects, two text boxes wilth an arrow connector between them, into a single object.
Text Box 1
Connector Arrow
Text box 2

A hyperlink in Text Box 1 moves the presentation to another slilde. Works okay; however, I cannot find how to change the font in Text Box 1 - the hyperlink text. PowerPoint changed the font to a very light color with the customary underline. I want to darken up the font color and remove the underline. How is this done?

Thanks,
Phil

hi phil,

i have just responded to one of your posts. i see you have
posted this several times. makes it more tricky to know
which one to respond too.

i'm not an mvp, but my solution to one of your posts will
allow you to darken or lighten or change the colour of any
hyperlink text that you want in your presentation.

guess now you just have to find which post the answer is
on

If you make the text box, rather than the text itself, the hyperlink, you
won't get an underscore. If that doesn't work, you can put another box
on top the text you want linked and make that box the hyperlink. If you
set the transparency of that box to something very high (like 99 or 100%)
or set the fill to no fill, you should get the effect you want.

David,

From a fellow teacher, thanks! You would think this a simple issue, but it has had me tied up all morning. Will give all this a try. Thanks, again.

Everything's easy in PowerPoint once you know how to do it. The problem
is that there are so many little things to know that no one can know how
to do them all. That's why we have this newsgroup.
