I've seen many posts asking this same thing and no one has explained *why*
they want to do that. The web is accessed by many people who wouldn't know
what a hyperlink was if it bit them on the carcass but they do know that an
underlined word or phrase will take them to another location.

I don't believe in dumbing things down but why alienate some of the web
users?

It doesn't matter why. Most of these people are designing for a client who
just wants what they want. There are also any number of other reasons why a
project requirement might include something that doesn't seem to make sense
in some way to someone. If you have to do it, you just have to.

Besides, underlined hyperlinks are actually not so much in vogue these days.
Times change. And there are other ways to identify a hyperlink beside
sunderlining it, which may not be appropriate for certain design layouts.
You can use mouseovers and other methods to identify hyperlinks.

I'm using FrontPage 2000.
How do I remove the underline on the hyperlink text.
This can be done easily with FrontPage 98. But I don't see the same
procedure with FrontPage 2000.
