Resetting the style of all Hyperlinks back to default requires a VBA Macro.



Code:



Sub RestoreHyperlinkStyle()
Dim hl As Hyperlink
For Each hl In ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks
hl.Range.Style = wdStyleHyperlink
Next
End Sub


Steps:




  1. Press Alt+F11 to open Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications.

  2. Double-click on "ThisDocument".

  3. Paste the code from the block above into the editor.

  4. Press F5 to run the code.

  5. Delete the code from the editor window to prevent Word from saving with Macros.

    Try the following, it works in Word 2013 and I think it should work in 2010 as well:




    • From the Home tab on the ribbon, choose Find -> Advanced Find...

    • Leave Find what blank.

    • At the bottom, choose Format -> Style...

    • Choose Hyperlink and press OK to close the dialog and return to the previous one.

    • Choose Find In -> Main Document

    • All the hyperlinks will be highlighted.

    • From the ribbon, choose Styles -> Clear Formatting. The default colour will be restored.

    Similar to James' solution, but this reassigns the style vs. clearing formatting...



    Assuming the links are still styled as Hyperlinks (which they should be if all you did was change the Font colour):




    • From the Home tab on the ribbon, choose Replace (or Ctrl+H).

    • Click the More >> button to expand the dialog.

    • Click on the blank Find what field.

    • At the bottom, choose Format -> Style...

    • Choose Hyperlink and press OK to close the dialog and return to the previous one.

    • Click on the blank Replace with field.

    • At the bottom, choose Format -> Style...

    • Choose Hyperlink and press OK to close the dialog and return to the previous one.

    • Click Replace All.

      But sometimes you just want to set one hyperlink back to blue. For example: You create an email in Outlook (same word editor) and paste a hyperlink into it. You click on the hyperlink to make sure it's going where you intended - that turns it purple. You don't want to send the email with a purple hyperlink.



      So, just right-click on the hyperlink and from the context menu select "Edit Hyperlink". It brings up the edit dialog box. Click on "OK". The hyperlink is returned to it's original blue state. Simple and quick.

        There is a simple way to do this.




        1. On the document you want to make your hyperlinks back to normal blue, press Shift + Ctrl + Alt + S.

        2. A box will appear (Styles). Scroll the box content to find FollowedHyperlink.

        3. Click on the little drop-down triangle. On the drop-down menu click on Update FollowedHyperlink to match selection.


        Just that! The beautiful blue color is back to all your hyperlinks. (Consider that if you ever click on hyperlinks later on this document, the color will not change anymore.)

        Just make sure your cursor is on the pink hyperlink, press "Insert/Link/OK" and your hyperlink will turn back to blue - essentially, you just re-establish the link.

        For me, none of those worked in Word 365.



        The easiest way that I found is:




        1. press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+S.

        2. revert/remove any unusual style formatting from there. in my document there were hyperlink.0 and hyperlink. i removed both.

        3. press Ctrl+A (to select all document)

        4. click on small "clear all formatting" icon just above font color icon.

        5. that's it. it will remove all the formatting to default ones, removing all black hyperlinks to default/blue hyperlinks..

                    Similar to James' solution, but this reassigns the style vs. clearing formatting...



                    Assuming the links are still styled as Hyperlinks (which they should be if all you did was change the Font colour):




                    • From the Home tab on the ribbon, choose Replace (or Ctrl+H).

                    • Click the More >> button to expand the dialog.

                    • Click on the blank Find what field.

                    • At the bottom, choose Format -> Style...

                    • Choose Hyperlink and press OK to close the dialog and return to the previous one.

                            But sometimes you just want to set one hyperlink back to blue. For example: You create an email in Outlook (same word editor) and paste a hyperlink into it. You click on the hyperlink to make sure it's going where you intended - that turns it purple. You don't want to send the email with a purple hyperlink.



                            So, just right-click on the hyperlink and from the context menu select "Edit Hyperlink". It brings up the edit dialog box. Click on "OK". The hyperlink is returned to it's original blue state. Simple and quick.

                                    There is a simple way to do this.




                                    1. On the document you want to make your hyperlinks back to normal blue, press Shift + Ctrl + Alt + S.

                                    2. A box will appear (Styles). Scroll the box content to find FollowedHyperlink.

                                    3. Click on the little drop-down triangle. On the drop-down menu click on Update FollowedHyperlink to match selection.


                                    Just that! The beautiful blue color is back to all your hyperlinks. (Consider that if you ever click on hyperlinks later on this document, the color will not change anymore.)

                                    For me, none of those worked in Word 365.



                                    The easiest way that I found is:




                                    1. press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+S.

                                    2. revert/remove any unusual style formatting from there. in my document there were hyperlink.0 and hyperlink. i removed both.

                                    3. press Ctrl+A (to select all document)

                                    4. click on small "clear all formatting" icon just above font color icon.

                                    5. that's it. it will remove all the formatting to default ones, removing all black hyperlinks to default/blue hyperlinks..
