Changing The Hyperlink Text Color Within A PowerPoint Theme.

Changing The Hyperlink Text Color Within A PowerPoint Theme.


The other day, I had to create a mock website using Power Point,   I was using 2010.   Within the mock site, I needed to Hyperlink everything within the Power Point document so that the mock site would act like the actual site.  

If you don't have experience, and have not had the need to change the textual color of Hyperlinks, then you definitely want to know this so that you will never be in a time sensitive situation where you need to change the textual color of a hyperlink in a Power Point slide and you have someone right there waiting.

1.   As I went through the document, I made decisions as to hyperlinking entire pictures and/or shapes that people can click on vs. hyperlinking text so that people can click on a textual item to be taken to another slide within the same Power Point document.

2.  So let's see how to change the color of the textual hyperlink within a particular PowerPoint Theme.

Step 1:

Click on the Design tab and find the theme you are currently using and select it.

Step 2:

Click “Colors” (right side) and then select “Create New Theme Colors.” A popup window appears, that displays the particular color settings of the theme you are currently using. If you are using 2013-365 then under the Design Tab, choose the down arrow to the right of the word Variants" above, choose Colors, then Customize.

Step 3:

Change the “Hyperlink” and “Followed Hyperlink” colors if you wish to use followed colors.  

At the bottom of the Create New Theme Colors (customize in 2016 and above) pop-up window, you’ll see two  selections  labeled “Hyperlink” and “Followed Hyperlink.” If you’d like to change the color that the hyperlink turns once it has been visited "selected", click the box beside “Followed Hyperlink” and select a new color to represent the already selected link.  Some people use the same color for the Hyperlink and Followed  Hyperlink.

Step 4:

Once you save and exit the Create New Theme Colors Dialog Box (customize for 2016 and above), if you have selected a different "Followed  Hyperlink" color then you should see that new color for any Hyperlink that had been previously selected.

I suggest you go through this process at least once so if it comes up, you will say I have done this before!

Sizing Up Your Documents When Setting Them Up From Scratch!

Sizing Up Your Documents When Setting Them Up From Scratch! Scenario : An attorney brings to you a document that is composed of hand written pages, typed up pages that will be inserts, some of the typed up pages have document numbers where you can grab the material without having to type the insert related material.   The attorney has asked you to please create a TOC, TOA and Index of Terms page.  You are also informed that there will be an Exhibit A and B in the back of the documen t.  So knowing this info upfront, how do we go about segmenting the document into its proper sections? Of course we need a cover page.  Most probably it will need a border and will be centered vertically on the screen.  Therefore we need a Section Break “Next Page ” after our cover page. For our TOC, TOA and Index Pages, we need a page break after the TOC, a page break after the TOA and a Section Break “Next Page” after the Index of Terms page.  This second section will ...
