Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 109274
hyperlink formatting impossible
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:34:36 UTC
Steps to reproduce: - start a new presentation, type in a text, mark it, use "insert hyperlink" - press F1, find "hyperlinks > character formats" or "hyperlinks > editing". Both documents suggest to change attribute of all hyperlinks by opening Styles and Formatting > Character Styles > right-clicking the "Internet Link" or "Visited Internet Link" character style > Modify. - when following the instructions, you'll find out that there is no such character style as "Internet Link" or "Visited Internet Link" Googling has confirmed to me the documentation says a bullshit and the problem has no viable solution except temporary changing styles of all hyperlinks in all documents on your Openoffice installation without a chance to save this change to the style of your document. Which sucks indeed if you are handed the obligatory enterprise template made in Microsoft Office... <insert complaints here>.
Reproducible. It seems that the impress help shows pages that are actually ment for writer. Reassigned.

Hmm... I expected a solution that would allow me to change the hyperlink colour while you seem to "solve" it by removing the howto instructions instead? Oops...
We will fix the documentation to reflect the current feature set of Impress & Draw. Resetting this issue to "requirements" as a feature request.
