Can you tell me how to change the color of a Hyperlink once clicked inside a Power Point slide?

There are clear directions from HELP inside PP on how to change hyper link color _before_ they are clicked - but not once that happens.

The presentation looks fine but once the Hyperlink (embedded in Text) are clicked the words are impossible to read projected.

I’m using PP 2002, and here’s what it says:

> [@](#):
>
> On the Format menu, click Slide Design.
> 
> In the task pane, click Color Schemes, and then click Edit Color Schemes.
> 
> Click the Custom tab.
> 
> Under Scheme colors, click Accent and hyperlink or Accent and \*\*followed hyperlink, \*\*and then click Change Color.
> 
> Do one of the following:  
> Click the Standard tab to select from the Standard color palette. Click the color you want, and then click OK.
> 
> Click the Custom tab to mix your own color. Click to select a color, and then click OK.
> 
> Click Apply.

Do you have that option in your version of PP?
