New Hyperlinks Not Underlined

users
#1

I don't know what happened to my LibreOffice 5.1.0.1 installation, but in Writer new hyperlinks began behaving oddly. The colors for visited and unvisited links defaulted to the original automatic colors, and that was easily fixed. New hyperlinks (both internet and document), however, are now no longer underlined. Any clues?

I have a question.
Where is the color for the hyperlinks defined?
In the document or in a CSS file?

I tend to use these CSS style sheets to have a set of predefined text color and size options, including the colors of the defined hyperlink options. So I just have to refer to the style sheet file and use the defined link styles and the commands like "#n10link" type of command in the "style" tag to define the fonts, color, and size, of the text in the web page.

I am now using 5.1.1.3 on my Ubuntu 64-bit laptop. Do you remember which version of LO your link colors worked correctly with?

I cannot find the info for adding a color in the add hyperlink option - such as defining the colors for link, visited, and hover color options shown in the CSS sample I have included in this document. To be honest, because I use CSS files I never tried looking for the color options you needed. Also, I do not use Writer/Web for web page editing.

I was using Kompozer for a long time, till Ubuntu changed the GUI and became unsupported using Ubuntu 14.XX or later. I do have it on my Windows partition though. I currently use Bluefish on Linux for the basic file editing. I do not think I would want to use that for new page creation though. Maybe I will see into using Writer/Web for some of the work, at some later time.

This is a small sample of my standardized style sheet file.

This is in a Writer .odt document, and the link colors are defined in LibreOffice - Tools | Options | LibreOffice | Application Colors - Unvisited Links / Visited Links.

Thanks.
For some reason I missed those two color options listed there.
I never looked adding such a linked text within a .odt file.
I have seen some in a PDF file with some but not .odt files.
