changing color of a visited link?

[Patricia]

Would anyone be able to help me with how to change the color of a visited link in PowerPoint
I have a main slide with twenty links on it to other slides within my show. When returning to the main slide after going out to one of the twenty links, I would like the color of the visited links to change such that one would know that that link was already visited. Like happens in a Web page when you visit links and come back and you know which one you visited because they are a different color. Is this possible with PowerPoint

Thank so so much

Hi, Patricia. This is controlled in the slide color scheme. Go to
Format/Slide Color Scheme and change the color of the swatch labeled
"followed hyperlink."

Format | Slide Design | Color Scheme | Edit Color Schemes... would be the place
to make the changes

Hello,

In PowerPoint, hyperlink text is always indicated with an underline and
color change taken from the color scheme for the slide. You can change the
color by changing the color scheme color settings for Accent 2 (unfollowed
hyperlink) and Accent 3 (followed hyperlink).

Here are some online Microsoft Office Assistance help topics with more
information about color schemes in PowerPoint:

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have some suggestions about
what options PowerPoint should provide for the handling and formatting of
hyperlink text, don't forget to send your feedback to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)

Steve put together more than you'd ever want to know about changing
hyperlink colors. Well, I had a little to do with it, too. For a long,
drawn-out explanation :-) check

thanks for that, TAJ. I'm afraid that explanation of mine is too
convoluted. I'll probably trim it down a bit eventually. (Then again,
you know how long it often takes me to get stuff on my site fixed!)

Don't you mean this bit that was on your site from day 1
