QuestionIf I change the hyperlink's text color, how do I change it back to the default?FreyrTop AnswererThe "Clear all formatting" tool should fix it. Just highlight the link and press the "A" with an eraser over it. You could also try using the format paintbrush from normal text. Otherwise you can just copy and paste the link into a browser, then copy it back across to the PowerPoint.
