Hi,

I am now spending a lot of time in PowerPoint 2007, and I'm having an issue with the notes pane I did not have with PowerPoint 2003.



I will often copy and paste notes from the web into the notes pane as I go through studying from slides. In 2003, all text in the notes pane would appear black Arial, with only bold, underline, and italic formatting possible.

As a result, in 2003, copied in hyperlinks would appear simply black and underlined. This was fine, as it was easily legible.

In 2007, hyperlinks now appear an awful pastel color I can't really read, as attached.

I tried enabling/disabling "show text formatting" in the outline view, as shown here, and while that does allow/disallow me to change fonts and font sizes in the notes pane, it doesn't change the hyperlink color issue. (The attachment is with "show text formatting disabled".)

Does anyone know what's going on or how to fix it? Is there some way of globally changing hyperlink color in a powerpoint that will reach the notes pane? If so, I don't mind just making all hyperlinks black. Anything but this. It's driving me crazy.

Thanks.
