The URLs appear in in my essay biblio in blue and underlined whereas I would rather they appear in black and not underlined. I can change them manually but, obviously, they change back each time I ‘update citations’. I can also wait until my essay is finished, break the link between my essay and Endnote and then change them manually. But it would be more convenient if I could change them in Endnote instead so they are black and not underlined.
Do you know of any way to solve this one?
Glad you were able to adjust your Chicago 15th template. As for the hyperlink color this is an issue with MS Word, not Endnote - MS Word’s default hyperlink color needs to be manually changed from blue to black.
You did not identify your OS so the steps are described below (based on Word 2010 for Windows [7]):
**Refer to Image1 for Steps 1-3**
- Open the MS Word document that contains the hyperlinks (URLs) you want to change from blue to black.
- From MS Word’s Home tab, click the Change Styles button (or use the ALT + CTRL + SHIFT + S keys). This will cause the Styles window to pop-up on-screen.
- Within the Styles window, scroll down the list, locate “Hyperlink” and click its pull-down menu to select “Modify”. This will cause a second pop-up window (Modify Style) to appear on-screen.
**Refer to Image 2 for Steps 4-5**
- In the Modify Style window, change the default blue color by clicking on the pull-down menu then selecting black (Automatic).
*Post-message additional step: At this point, also click the “U” button which will remove the underlining feature. (Overlooked including this in the original posting.)
- Notice in the preview window that the hyperlinks now appear in black. Also note that you have the option of having the black hyperlink format for the current document or for new documents based on this template.
Click OK to close the Modify Style window and return to the main document.
**Refer to Image 3 for Step 6**
- The color for the hyperlinks in your document now appear in black. Close the styles box.
