    Hi all,

    If I make a new document, type some text then make it a hyperlink, InDesign helpfully creates a character style called ‘Hyperlink’ with the classic blue underlined style.

    How can I stop it doing this? Or ideally, edit the behaviour so if chooses the hyperlink style I have already set up?

    Thanks

    Rich

    Hi Rich,

    1. Close all InDesign documents.2
    2. Then make a new color swatch of your choosing. Name it Hyperlink.
    3. Then, make a new character style named “Hyperlink.” Style it however you want your hyperlinks to normally look. This will be added to the program defaults.
    4. Then, make a new document and create a hyperlink. InDesign will use your hyperlink color and character style instead of the dark blue underlined one that it normally does.

    Good question.

    I see, thanks for replying Kelly.

    I take it there is no way of doing this on a document-by-document basis then? That would be handy. If nobody can think of a good reason they dont have this feature then I will submit it as a request.

    After making that color swatch and character style, put the text in a separate text frame and export it as a snippet. Keep that snippet somewhere handy and place it into your inDesign document whenever you need those styles. That way, you won’t have to remake them every time.
