making links blue!

[Doug Lassiter]

I copied a web frame into a Word document hoping to make it easily editable. It is, EXCEPT the links don't show up as blue. Just underlined. How do I make all the links blue? There are a hundred links in the document, so I don't want to do them individually! I want them all blue and underlined.

Yes, it's clear to me how to change an individual link to make it look blue. I just go to Styles and assign a hyperlink style to that link. But I don't want to have to do that individually for ALL the links in this document. Word knows these are links. They're underlined, and they are clickable. So how can I tell Word to make them all have the hyperlink style?

At least in WinWord, the appearance of hyperlinks are controlled by two character styles: Hyperlink and FollowedHyperlink. (The latter is for hyperlinks that have been clicked.) Try modifying those.

OK, I figured it out. Pretty slick. You can use the Replace function to select fields and change the style. Fortunately, all of my unhyperlinked links had quotes around them, so I just replaced "*" (using the wildcard search) with Format - Style - Hyperlink. That did it!
