Hyperlinking Colored Text!

Can a hyper-linked text in a Google document (that was got by uploading a MS Office Word 2007 document from computer - prepared on Web Layout) be restored with its original color? No, it cannot be restored:

An already colored text in this type of Google document, when hyper-linked, turns into deep blue in color indicating that it has been hyper-linked. After this you will not be able to either restore to it its original color (by selecting it first and next its original color from the Font color tab) or give it another color!

The only way to color back the text is: Publish the document to the Blogger’s blog page first  go to the Edit Post  delete the hyper-linked text and retype it  select and color it with its original color  then hyperlink it by using the Link box  remove the selection from the text. Now the hyper-linked text will be retaining its color. In other words and in short: it is better to do coloring and the subsequent hyper-linking of the texts in the Post Editor rather than in Google document!

Font Size alteration avoiding in Blog Posting!

Usually there will be font size variation in the Post Editor of Blogger after you publish your post through the Google Docs website. The font size in the published post is different from that you typed in Microsoft Word Document page and uploaded to the Google Docs website. To publish in the intended font size, you can open first the Google document file that contains the blog post and then select all the text contents and change them to the next higher font size to the intended size. Then reduce this size to the next lower size to the intended size, and then to the intended size finally. If you publish the post now, you shall see that there is no alteration or variation in the font size! (Even after this if you find still the alterations in the font size in the Post Editor, you can repeat the same procedure as you did in the Google document file, in the Post Editor itself and remove the alterations, if any, and have your intended font size published!).
