Hyperlinks Format in Word

[Eugene99]

I'm venturing into unfamiliar territory by creating web pages in Word. I created them with the Web Page Wizard, but I have not been able to figure out how to make the hyperlinks change either color or become bold when you hover the mouse over them. Is it possible to do this in Word, or only available in web design software like Front Page?

Thanks,
Eugene

Eugene,

I believe Web design software would be the right answer as these are Dynamic HTML (DHTML) effects and are not supported by Word.

And Word is a word processor, not web page software - as much as Microsoft would like to imagine otherwise. It creates hugely bloated HTML.

Thanks for the info. If this works out, I think I'll ditch Word and get some real web design software...

It'll work for now...

I recently "saved as" and, I'm telling you, it sucks.
Use FrontPage.
If you are good with Word, you'll be fine in FP.
The only thing you'll want to know most about FP is to set virtually EVERYTHING up in tables. And, if you know tables in Word, then you pretty much know tables in FP.

FrontPage sucks as well. However, it is a MS world.

FP makes hugely bloated HTML as well. It is web page software for people who rarely, if ever, look at the actual code. Although strictly speaking HTML is not code....

However, it is better at it than Word.

If you want my personal opinion, get 1st Page. It is free at:

As stated, it is free, and it is a full blown, well designed HTML editor. It has three skill level settings that alter the interface to match those levels. It has a very good file/image management interface. It writes WW3 compliant pages, with NO bloat.

It also has built-in javascriptlets you can use, and learn from.
