Charles was saying the term "Internet Link" does not exist in OO.o help
documentation. Thus, you cannot find that which does not exist.

In HTML and CSS, which i am familiar with, these are termed A:LINK and
A:VISITED and are both states of a hyperlink, as are A:ACTIVE and
A:HOVER. OO.o may not differentiate at all between them. What are you
trying to achieve with them - what do you want to do with OO.o?
