Hyperlink without underlining text?

[Jake]

Hi all,

Is there a way to convert text into a hyperlink without the sometimes
undesired underline effect?

Thanks!

A workaround is to put a blank box over the text and hyperlink to the box.

Draw a rectangle autoshape that will cover the entire text.
Next, double click on the autoshape to bring up Format Autoshape.
Under Fill section, set the Transparency to 99% and Line color to "No Line".
Ok your way out.

Now, right click on the 'invisible' autoshape and click Hyperlink. Add the
hyperlink you want on the autoshape instead. Does that help?
