Changing the color of links

You can change the default color of links in your Web page. The color of the link can change to show whether it has been clicked or not.

Note Not all browsers display the colors that you select, so you'll probably want to view your Web pages in your browser to check your new color scheme.

To change the color of links:

  1. Choose Document Options form the Tools menu (Windows) or Document Options from the Edit menu (Macintosh).
  2. Click the Appearance tab, if necessary.

     

  3. Choose a color from the Text Color pop-up menus for the type of link you want to change.

Changing the color of links affects only the document you're working on. To change the color of links of all pages in your site at once, you can do so in the Site Editor. See Using the Site Editor.
