text colour when creating page link
Apologies if this is a very basic question but I've never tried anything like this before.
I have several sections on the page that link to other parts of the website. Most are in the main body of text but one is a link as part of the title and it needs to be in a different colour from the others.
I have been into web properties onto the website tab where it shows the Mouse off, Mouse Over and Visited colours but this changes the text for the whole website and I can't work out how to break it down into separate sections.
Your help with this would be much appreciated, I've been trying to work it out for hours :confused:
Thanks!

Welcome to TalkGraphics
As you have discovered, you can globally change the link colors but not individually.
The best work around I can think of would be to create a separate shape, a rectangle with some text, for example, and link that as desired, You could also have a mouse over version for interaction. This would be like a button, but just a single button.
Would this work?

Thanks for that. The rectangle idea might work, I assume then I would group the rectangle with the text and create the link from the object so that the text would stay the colour I want?
Is there an easy way to get the rectangle's line colour to match the fill colour so that it doesn't appear to be a button in the heading. I just want the text to show on its own.
Re: text colour when creating page link
in case anyone else has this problem. If you make a transparent rectangle to go over the text, group them, then add the link, it doesn't affect the colour of the text
Re: text colour when creating page link
The best way to make the line's color match the fill color is simple. Set the outline width to NONE. :)
On the Infobar, select None from the Width drop down list.
You are using Web Designer which has limited transparency options. In Photo and Graphic Designer and Designer Pro 6 you can create a colored rectangle, apply Bleach transparency which will only color the text under the rectangle, and link the rectangle.
But the invisible rectangle works in any of the applications and is a good way to go.
