Write some text say something like this: normal text link text normal text
then highlight the link text bit in the middle
then click cmd-k
add a link to this for example: http://www.freewaytalk.net
now click ok and whilst its highlighted choose a colour from Colors palette
Another way to do it is by using the extended button when you are in the link popup window.
Just click the extended button and add this in the name field style
and this in the value field: color:#fb84b8
if you didntt want your links to be underlined then you could add a second part like this: color:#fb84b8; text-decoration:none
I already found the method you presented in your first message. But I wondered if there were the possibility in Freeway to define the link-color as the general property of the project. The answer I just found from
FW5Reference_2010_screen.pdf is:
Setting hyperlink colors for an item
In Freeway 5 Pro, you can set link styles for any CSS item. This is useful if you wish to have different link styles on different parts of a page. To set link styles for a CSS item:
1 Select the item and display the Item Appearance panel in the Inspector palette. Click on the disclosure triangle next to Links to show this section, if it is not already open.
2 Choose an appropriate color and style for normal links (Link), visited links (Visited), links that are underneath the mouse cursor (Hover), and links that are being clicked on (Active). To access other link style options in Freeway 5 Pro, click on the More button.
In Freeway 5 Express, you can use the Text Link Style Action to set link styles for individual boxes. This Action also allows you to set link styles for non-CSS items.
Setting hyperlink colors for an item In Freeway 5 Pro
The problem is you said you were an Express user and most of us are Pro users - that makes it a bit more difficult as most of us are not entirely sure what features are available to you when you are using Express.
Hi
I am fairly sure Express doesn’t have that as an option hence why I didn’t include it.
But if you wanted to have a general: “if a link make it this colour” type of thing on a page then the only way I can think of doing it without creating an action specifically to do it is by:
There’s no need to resort to markup as Express has the options to set the 4 standard link styles (link, visited, hover, and active) in the Inspector palette; http://www.freewayactions.com/test/fwexpress-links.png
These work on a page-by-page basis or on all pages that use the common master.

Tim.
