Hyperlink text shading

Anonymous

Is there anyway to have the text that is "bookmarked" display shaded or italicized only when the hyperlink is clicked? I am trying to use hyperlinks to the same area in a text, but different sections. One for the whole text in the area, but the other to a small section within that same area. Any ideas?  Thank you for your time and advise.

    Create a bookmark to the location you want to jump to.

    Then you can use the Insert tab > Links group > Hyperlink button, then select the bookmark you want to jump to.

    After that you can customize the "Followed Hyperlink" style to look like you want it to, italics or shaded.  In the modify style dialog, Shading is "hidden" in the "Borders" option.

    Thank you, Rohn007. But I am looking more to shade the text that the hyperlink is linked to. What I have in mind is have the text shaded only when someone follows the hyperlink. Any way?
