Tips & Warnings

• Make sure you don't make the links too dark or too light, so that you can't see them.
• Some Web pages use these default colors, but others use colors set specifically by the page designer. If a specific color has been set, the page will use that color, not the one you selected.
• On a Macintosh, open a browser program and look for menus or commands such as Preferences, Internet Options or Settings.
