Hi Jim,

The presentation is coming together well. I found that you can change the color of the hyperlinks by going under "Color Scheme" to the "Custom" option. This allows you to change the color of visited and unvisited linked sites. The default PP color for unvisited hyperlinks is red, while the default PP color for visited hyperlinks is pink. Both look REALLY bad on a blue slide. I changed the color of both visited and unvisited links to white, which matches the text of the slides. These links remain underlined, and meld well with the rest of the text on the slides. I was unable to find a reference to this in the PowerPoint manual, so you may want to pass this info on to others who have funny looking color combinations.

Thanks,

Dave
