Multiple hyperlink and followed hyperlink styles
Hi - I am working on a long document, with a lot of hyperlinks -- both
linking to sections within the document, but also to other (external) documents. Is there a way ofcreating multiple (different) hyperlink styles that, once followed, also have different (but related in appearance) followed hyperlink styles? (the idea being that the user/reader knows if the hyperlink is within or between documents). I can create new hyperlink styles no problem but when clicked the hyperlink does not change to a 'followed hyperlink' style. Thanks skellis |

Multiple hyperlink and followed hyperlink styles
G'day "skellis" ,
As you observed, this is hard-coded into the Word facade and is therefore impossible :-) The only way around is some dreadful macrobutton programming that really isn't worth the effort. The macro button changes its style, then does a followhyperlink to the target of the text of the macrobutton. The macrobutton code references the macrobutton field by using Selection.Fields(1).

One of the possibilities to specially mark "external" links might be to use a small (inline) graphic in front of it (a small arrow, a sphere, whatever -- the reader will understand). Creating an autotext and placing it before each such link might do the trick for you. Greetinx ..bob -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
