Hyperlinking /Actions

[Christine]

I have a numbered list where each item needs to link to another supporting
slide in the presentation.

I can hyperlink or use an Action just fine on the text of each item, but I
need it to retain the specific formatting it currently has and not change to
the hyperlink color w/ underlining.

Is there any way to do this without applying the hyperlink then reformatting
everything? Each line has two different colors of text so reformatting will
be time consuming!

Thanks!
Christine

You can alter the hyperlink colouyrs by editing the colour scheme.

If you need detailed instrux please say which version you have.

Sorry... I know better than that!

I'm using Office 2007.

I'm okay with changing the hyperlink colors ... the problem is that each
line of my text has multiple colors where the main topic is one color and the
text in parentheses is another.

I have 23 different links to set up and I don't relish having to reset the
color of half of each item's text and pull the underlining 23 times!

So basically, I'm looking to set up a hyperlink or an action (choosing
hyperlink) that will NOT change the formatting of the chosen text.

Only way I can think of is to have a transparent box over the text and make
the link from that.

Thanks John!

I was thinking that is what I would have to resort to... just thought I
would try the collective brain here in case there was something I was
overlooking.

Thanks,

Another option would be not to use one large placeholder or textbox for all
of your text, but write every line in a separate textbox. Then click on the
border of the textbox and put the hyperlink on the whole object instead on
the text.
