Is there any way to remove the underline that appears
when text is turned into a hyperlink? I know I can
create a text box and turn the BOX into a hyperlink, but
that is not how I want to do it. Is there another option?

Thanks for any help!
 
You can create a rectangle that fits over the text. Apply the hyperlink to
the rectangle and then apply "no fill" and "no line" to the rectangle to
make it invisible.
 
Highlight the link, right click, got to hyperlink, and the last option on
the menu will be remove hyperlink. Hope that helps!

Wow, your replies were quick!

Sonia, I knew I could do that, but I was trying to avoid
needing another object. But if it comes down to it, I'll
use that technique.

Julie, I don't want to remove the hyperlink; I just don't
want the word to be underlined when it becomes a
hyperlink.

Thanks for your quick response. Have a great day!
 
Thank you all for your replies. I guess I can't do what
I wanted to do. (Sigh.) Darn automatic formatting! Oh,
well. Invisible boxes it shall be.

Thanks again.
 
That removes the entire hyperlink, not must the underline, which I think is what
Sari is after.

Hello,

PowerPoint does not currently have the capability that you are looking for.
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.

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:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. 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.

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