Trouble with hyperlinks in animated bullet points
Dec 14, 2022
For some reason, the hover/visited states of the hyperlinks in my project are not working consistently. For example, I've got different hyperlinks inserted into a single textbox with bullet points and the hover and visited states of the hyperlinks in bullets 1 and 2 differently from the one in bullet 3. (See sample gif below where you can see a light blue highlighted hover state on hyperlink of the last bullet, but not on the other two hyperlinks.) I've tried resetting the built-in hyperlink text states from the home button ribbon, but it is still not working.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

What were your steps used for building these. Text hyperlinks do not typically have Hover states. They are usually on the text box as a whole.
Can you share the slide?
Hi Ron,
Thanks for your quick response! The process I took was to select the text, go to the "insert" tab, insert hyperlink with a trigger to open the URL when the user clicks on the text. Then, I noticed that sometimes I would have an issue with some hyperlinks having a hover state, and some not. So, I went to the "home" tab and tried to modify the project's built-in hyperlink style under the "text" dropdown menu, but I still can't get it to apply the style consistently. I'm wondering if this might be related to a previous posting of a bug with hyperlinks with no hover states...I'm also noticing that when the hyperlinks do have a highlighted hover state, it only appears to be on the final bullet, or if the text box only has one hyperlink in among the bullets.
Hi Morton Arboretum,
I'm sorry you're having an issue with your hyperlinks not acting the same! You in fact are experiencing a bug in the software that has already been reported. I'm going to add your voice to the report. If there's any news regarding this bug, this conversation will be updated.
Thanks for telling us about this!
Forgot all about the Hover text style on a hyperlink - looks like you are in good hands with John
