Hi
I am facing this weird problem of late
I typed a certain matter in normal font with black color but the moment I added an email ID to the text, The color of the text changed to blue with an underline. Please read that the color of the text changed from black to blue, Initially in Corel Draw X6 only the color of the email ID changed which was quite normal as we could change it back to black and remove the outline. But here I am trying to change the color from blue to black and remove the underline it just doesnt happen no matter how much I click on Black fill and Underline Tab.
This is kinda weird
I recently went through the X7 Update so I don't know whether this is an update issue or on old issue.
Though I removed the automatic hyperlink option from the options - Text Properties - Quick Correct.
But that's not an issue. The issue is if the automatic hyperlink is checked, the color changes to blue and refuses to change to any other color n refuses to remove the undreline.
I am attaching the affected file herewith
Now that you have turned the hyperlink option off, I think you will be able to fix this problem by selecting that middle block of text (including at least one black character before and after it), copy it into notepad, copy the result back to clipboard and then paste it in place of the original.
Is it possible to disable auto styling links (X7.4)? I.e. I need that link but I want to recolor the text.
Addon:I clarified that links became hard styled in case of a link is applied to a part of a text (artistic or paragraph), not a whole block.Moreover these links aren't displayed in Links and Bookmarks docker. I think it's a bug.
danissimo said:I need that link but I want to recolor the text.
The problem occurs when copying text from other programs, such as word. If the text already has a link in it, CorelDraw will not recognise that and will simply embed the text, including the link formatting, into the text without actually understanding it. Consequently the facilities to manage the attributes will not be available through the links docker.
The answer though should be the same as before -- select the offending text including at least one plain text character before and after the link, paste somewhere like notepad that does not support character attributes (the text box in the windows Run command is a faster alternative for a single line), select it again from there and paste it back into the original text object. Then you can either make a proper link within CorelDraw (which I think will respect the doument's link styles) and/or apply the underline or other attributes as you need.
In general though, I'd recommend not pasting text direct from word. It's always safer to paste it into notepad to eliminate word's horrendous embedded formatting, bring it in as plain text and apply your own formatting safely from within CorelDraw.
Hello, harryLondon Thank you for your answer. The text I was playing with was just a dummy text entered in Corel itself. So it doesn't include any links. So I just select some characters in a text block (not the whole block), create a new link in Links and Bookmarks docker and oops! The link become hardstyled (blue underline, and I cannot change this formatting) and the link in Links and Bookmarks just disappears.
