change color in link

[Rich]

Using PPT 2003 On one slide I have created a link to a web page. The link color is pink and I can't change this color to blue. I have tried to copy and paste the link to a new text box, and set the font color to blue but the color remains the same (pink). Any ideas how to change the color?

Hello,

Hyperlink text is always indicated with an underline and color change taken
from the color scheme for the slide. You can change the color by changing
the color scheme but the text will always be underlined.

1) Switch to the "Slide Design - Color Scheme" task pane
2) Click on the "Edit Color Schemes..." at bottom of task pane
3) In the "Custom" tab of the "Edit Color Scheme" dialog, note the colors
for "Accent and hyperlink" and "Accent and followed hyperlink"

To change the color of hyperlink text both for BEFORE a hyperlink has
followed used and for after the hyperlink has been followed, simply select
the appropriate color swatch in the dialog and click on the "Change color"
button to change it to what you want.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have some suggestions about
what options PowerPoint should provide for the handling and formatting of
hyperlink text, don't forget to send your feedback to Microsoft at:

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
