Changing text and link colors in style sheets

If the topic is linked to a style sheet, you can assign body text and link colors in the style sheet. All topics that are linked to the style sheet will display the same colors.

To change the text and link colors of a style sheet:

  1. From the Format menu, select Styles.

  2. If the Hide inherited styles check box is selected, remove the check mark to see all styles in the Styles list.

  3. Under Available in, select the name of the style sheet (*.CSS).

  4. Under Styles, select the hyperlink (Hyperlink [active], Hyperlink [unvisited], Hyperlink [visited]) or the text style you want to change.

  5. Click Modify. The Modify Style dialog opens.

  6. Click the Format button, and from the drop-down list, select Font. The Font dialog opens, allowing you to change font color.

  7. From Font Color, select the color you want to attach to the hyperlink or text style and click OK.

  8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 for each style you want to change.

Note: Any changes you make to an external style sheet are incorporated into every topic attached to the style sheet. Once your changes have been saved, they become part of the style sheet. You cannot undo applied changes to an external style sheet.
