Formatting hyperlinks

[Guest]

I have created a list of hyperlinks which work just dandy. I select the
entire list and highlight it to apply a color to the text. In this case I
selected dark red. In my open for editing document all is good. I then save
the document and open Internet Explorer to view it as others would. What I
find it that the first three links in each list have a different underline
color. In this case a light blue.

Dumb question...why? Dumber question...how do I then fix this?

The colours assigned to viewed links are an individual user setting. You
cannot control how users will see them.

So how do I select how to view all my links in the same color? I really don't
like the setting I have which picks random colors for links. I'd like to
change that setting.

If specific formatting has been applied to the Hyperlink and Followed
Hyperlink character styles, that formatting will be maintained on any
machine, provided the Word document remains a Word document. To some extent
this should be true even if the document is saved as a Web page, though it
will depend on how it was saved and certain settings in the recipient's
browser (it's possible to override Web page formatting, but most people
don't).

This is a browser setting - follow your browser help instructions for
'followed links'.
It will not affect how others see the documents.

Why is it so hard to understand this post?

The issue is not with:

1 How to format a hyperlink
2 My browser vs. someone elses
3 Browser settings

It has to do with some links are one color and some another. When I create a
list of links, the first three always have one color underline, the rest
another. What I expect should happen is that they should all be the same
color. I know how to format them, I know how to set browser and document
themes/colors and properties. I just don't know why the first three links in
any list have one color underline and the rest of them another.

What further confuses me is that when you format a hyperlink the whole link
including the underline sould be the same color. When I format the other
links in the list, I can change colors and font style and it applies to both
the text and the underline. In the first three links it applies only to the
text, not the underline.

It's not how in this case, but why? I've done all the diagosis and it
appears only in IE7 with a document created with Word2007. And it's
only/always the first three links in any given list of links.
