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)

You can change the color of links by changing the color scheme where you can
set the link and followed/visited link colors.
As mentioned, you can't prevent PowerPoint from underlining the linked text.
And keep in mind that changing the color scheme may alter the color of other
items in the presentation as well.

If you'd rather not bother with that, you can draw a rectangle to create a
"hotspot" for the link (ie, so that it surrounds the text you want to link
from) then apply the link to the rectangle. Then set it to no fill, no
outline. It will still function to trigger the link but won't be visible.
Then you can format the text any way you like.

Invisible shapes like this may not work properly in the 2003 Viewer; if
that's an issue, test first.
