The easiest way would be to open an editor and create the new style file e.g. nasserStyle.nb. The minimal should be: Notebook[{ Cell[StyleData[StyleDefinitions->"Default.nb"]], (*this makes your style a sibling of Default.nb *) Cell[CellGroupData[{ Cell[StyleData["Hyperlink"], FontColor->RGB[1.0.0], FontWeight->Bold ], Cell[StyleData["Hyperlink","Printout"], <Settings> ] },Closed]] }] Save this file to $UserBaseDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/StyleSheets To your second question: Mark the Cell including your hyperlink and use Cell/ShowExpression. Now you can edit your links to your liking. -- _________________________________________________________________ Peter Breitfeld, Bad Saulgau, Germany -- http://www.pBreitfeld.de
