Re: [JAWS-Users] Hyperlink in a Word document.

Underlining is also visually distracting and can give undue prominence. In a document that isn't multicolored, the change in color should make hyperlinks stand out. In a document where colors are used for other purposes, I can see your point. For screenreader users, links are announced as such.

You really should not remove the underlining. This is an accessibility feature for people who visually look at links. 1. Text that is underlined is more noticeable which can assist people in determining the important parts of a document, or to quickly scan for a link to click on. 2. It serves as a
