Hyperlink - removing the underline

[Peter T.]

Does anyone know if there is a way of removing the underline when you set up
a hyperlink? I know how the change the colour but I don't want the
underline!

Thanks,

Pete

Assign the hyperlink (Action Setting) to the whole text box, not just to the
text. Right-click the textbox border, then select "Action Settings.

Thanks for the suggestion, Bill, but I'm finding that the text inside the
box is still being underlined as a hyperlink.

Problem solved...thanks.

Assign the hyperlink (Action Setting) to the whole text box, not just to
the
text. Right-click the textbox border, then select "Action Settings.

Problem solved...thanks.

How did you solve it? I tried what Bill said, use Action Settings and the
whole box, but it didn't work for me.

Place your cursor in the text and then press Escape. That selects the text box,
instead of the text.

If the text is already set to be a hyperlink, you'll have to select the
text and choose Remove Hyperlink. Then add the hyperlink to the text box
(as Sonia described).
