Format color of hyperlinks?

[Guest]

I need to change the color of inserted hyperlinks within a PowerPoint
presentation. I have figured out how to change the color so that ALL links
are uniform, but I need to assign various colors to different links within
the same presentation. Help!

You can change the color scheme individually for each slide. This would
allow you to have a different followed hyperlink color per slide.

If you only need to change the hyperlink color before being clicked on, you
can set the hyperlink to the text box instead of the text itself. See:
http://www.pptmagic.com/articles/dynamicppt.htm for details and examples.

Although it might seem that using custom animation and triggers would work,
the color change will only last for the duration of the slide and when you
return to the slide it will be reset.

One approach is to assign the hyperlink to the textbox or shape *containing*
the text rather than to the text itself.

For example, instead of selecting the text then assigning the link, click in
the text, press ESC to select the shape that contains the text and then assign
the link.

PowerPoint always assigns the Hyperlink and Followed Hyperlink colors from the
current color scheme when you add hyperlinks to text, so you can't control the
color on a case by case basis.

What if the hyperlinks are all in the same text box? Do they have to be in
individual boxes? Also, the presentation is 40+ pages long, but all of the
links are on the same slide. Color when followed is not as important, just
the color of the link before being selected.

Yep, they'll need to be separate boxes for each link.
