Text links colors not working

[Stones]

Hi, (Using Web Designer 7 Premium) I cannot get the new desired text link color (an edited color), the mouseover color or the visited color to show up in a browser. The link itself works as it should and the line under is gone as I wanted but the colors don't change. I've used the instructions on page 204 of the pdf user guide and also tried to search it here, but no luck. I'm new to WebDesigner.

The use looks intuitive enough but any idea what I'm missing out here?

Many thanks for your help
