How to Remove the Underline from a Single Hyperlink

There are two ways to remove the underline formatting from a single hyperlink:
  • Use the Underline button on the Formatting toolbar. To do this:
    1. Select the hyperlink where you want to remove the underline.
    2. On the Formatting toolbar, click the Underline button.

      The hyperlink will no longer be underlined.
  • Use the text-decoration cascading style sheet (CSS) attribute.
    1. In FrontPage 2003, click the Code tab at the bottom of the FrontPage window.
    2. Locate the code that looks similar to the following code:
      <a href="http://Example.Microsoft.Com">underlinedhyperlink</a>
    3. Insert the style tag with the style="text-decoration:none" attribute in the anchor tag, so that your code looks similar to the following code:
      <a style="text-decoration:none" href="http://Example.Microsoft.Com">nonunderlinedhyperlink</a>
    4. On the File menu, click Save.

      The hyperlink will no longer be underlined.

How to Remove the Underline from All Hyperlinks

You can remove the underline from all hyperlinks in a page by adding a <STYLE> section to the page.

To remove the underline from all hyperlinks on a page, follow these steps:
  1. Open the page that you want to modify.
  2. Click the Code tab.
  3. Put the following HTML code before the <BODY> tag:
    <STYLE>A {text-decoration: none;} </STYLE>
  4. Click the Design tab.

    Your hyperlinks no longer contain underlines.

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.
