Change color of hyperlink; NOT Accent color

[Guest]

I am using PowerPoint 2000. I would like to change the color of the
hyperlink text, but NOT the accent color. I am trying to change by: format
menu / slide colour
scheme/custom tab, doubleclick the accent and hyperlink color square.

To get around this, I embedded the link in an autoshape, hidden behind text
I put in the rectangle autoshape. You'd think I wouldn't have to do this.
Any suggestions??? Thanks! Sue

Go to View>Slide Design. On the slide design menu, look for Color Schemes.
Click that, and it'll take you into a dialogue box where you can change the
hyperlink color for all the slides in that presentation.

Hi Linda,

When I open the View menu, I do not see the Slide design option. I also
looked under the slide Master. Did I miss something?

Linda's instructions are for PowerPoint 2002 and up.
The equivalent in PPT2000 would be Format, Color Scheme.

Either way, it isn't what you're after, since you mentioned that you don't want to
change the Accent color along with the Hyperlink color. Unfortunately, the second
Accent color and Hyperlink color are tied together.

Another approach is to apply your hyperlink to the text *box* rather than to the
text in the box. Click the text then press Esc to select the textbox containing
the text. Apply your hyperlink to that.

Drawback: you can't apply different hyperlinks to different parts of the text
within the box this way.
