PUB2000: Followed Hyperlinks Disappear With Some Backgrounds

This article was previously published under Q212579

SYMPTOMS

Hyperlinks you have created in Microsoft Publisher disappear after they have been visited once.

CAUSE

When you create text hyperlinks, you must specify a color of the link before it is visited and a color of the link after it is visited. If the color of the hyperlink after it is visited is the same color as the background of your page, the hyperlink will "disappear" after it is followed one time. This behavior is by design.

RESOLUTION

If you experience this problem, change the color of the visited hyperlinks. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. On the Format menu, click Color and Background Scheme.
  2. Click the Custom tab.
  3. Under Scheme Colors, click the arrow in the New List to the right of Followed Hyperlink and select a different color.
  4. Click OK.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
