I have a lot of Powerpoint slides that I converted to LibreOffice Impress. The resulting hyperlinks are very faded, very hard to see. I can't seem to find any way to change the colour of hyperlinks as a whole.

Any colour change I do make on an individual url link does not hold when converted back to .ppt which is sometimes necessary.

I have tried the tools=options=libreoffice=appearance route but it only seems to affect the very first hyperlink in the slide set

Styles and Formatting window

https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Editing_Hyperlinks

Change the attribute of all hyperlinks

Open the Styles and Formatting window.

Click the Character Styles icon.

Right-click the "Internet Link" or "Visited Internet Link" character style, and choose Modify.

In the dialog, select the new attributes, and click OK.

Notes

  • Character Styles icon = button on top of the styles and formatting window

    Character Styles icon in Libreoffice

  • Changes should be made to "Hyperlink" too (if you used or converted from a Microsoft Office Word document).

  • In order to make changes to a text, select the text you want to change and double-click (left-click) on a character style (e.g. "Hyperlink").

There are two places which control the internet or index link color -- see image:

  1. Tools > Options > APPEARANCE > Unvisited Links, Visited Links
  2. Format > Styles and Formatting > Character Styles ("a in box" icon) > Index Link, Internet Link

My document is using Index Links which were blue and which I wanted to be black. I changed the Index Link character style to be Black but only some of them changed. Then I found the Appearance controls under Tools>Options and by turning the Links colors off it worked.

Tools > Options > Application Colors

Then scroll down to "Unvisited links" and "Visited links"

Go to Tools, then choose Options. From there, a window should pop up and one of the selections is Appearance under the LibreOffice tab. A checkbox displaying the colours for a visited or unvisited link can be changed. Good luck!

There are two places which control hyperlink colors in LibreOffice

  1. to format all your hyperlinks on the whole document

Tools > Options... > Application Colors > Visited Links ...and set the color Tools > Options... > Application Colors > Unvisited Links ...and set the color

  1. to format a particular hyperlink on your document

Format > Character... > Hyperlink (in the Tab) > Character Styles (in the box) then set the color by choosing the "source text" for example then personalize the hyperlink's style
