Formatting hyperlinks
By default, hyperlinked text is underlined and colored according to the default
colors defined in the Preferences dialog box (Print Layout or Digital Layout >
General). You can override the default appearance of individual hyperlinks by
selecting the specific word(s) in the hyperlink and applying the desired formatting
(color, size, and font).
If you change the formatting of a paragraph that contains hyperlinked text, the
hyperlinks will reflect the font and font-size changes of the paragraph, while
retaining their default color and underlined text formatting.
