TOC hyperlink styles
I have to create a Word template which contains a table of contents on a
purple background and body content on a white background. The table of contents is a list of anchor links and there are links within the body copy. How can I make the two types of links different colours? Ideally I want the links in the body copy to use Word's in-built 'hyperlink' style (which I've customised) and the TOC links to use a custom style (white text for the purple background). I've tried every trick I know of and Google has been of no assistance. Help me please. |

TOC hyperlink styles
Hyperlinks in a TOC are not formatted with the Hyperlink (or any other)
character style; the Hyperlink style is suppressed as long as the links are active (but, ironically, will show up if you unlink the TOC), and any character style you apply will be removed when the TOC is updated. But you can define the TOC styles as having purple shading (or put a purple AutoShape Behind Text on the TOC pages) and format the font of the styles as white (if you use Automatic and the shading is dark enough, the text will reverse to white automatically). -- Suzanne S.
