How to change default colours (for example for hyperlinks, viewed hyperlinks, headings, etc.) in PowerPoint?
by Oriane Pierrès 2 years agoYou have created your beautiful OER in PowerPoint and you notice at the end that the colour contrast ratio of your hyperlinks is too low. You think about all the people who will squint their eyes to read your hyperlinks or simply will not be able to read it at all. Changing all the hyperlinks in your presentation will take a looot of time and the presentation is due… tomorrow.
Luckily, Microsoft gives you an option to change the color of hyperlink text throughout a presentation. All you have to do is go to the design tab, in the variants group, click on the drop down menu, select colour and click on customize colours. There, in the create new theme colours dialog box, you can modify the colour of your hyperlinks, but also of the hyperlinks that were already clicked once, as well as the colour of the whole presentation. Admittedly, the “Text/background Dark 1” is not really straight forward, but you can change it and see which text element is affected.
OER accessibility saved! :)
