Robert and Stuart:

To have links change, use the following:

 A:link {text-decoration: none}
    A:visited {text-decoration: none}
    A:active {text-decoration: none}

The text-decoration: none removes the underlining and is
optional. You can also include different fonts and weights, etc.
as well as font colors for each type of link.

And yes, one of the nicer aspects of Styles is that it can be
over ridden locally, either by calling different external styles,
using a "local" style or simply overriding with straight HTML.

One advantage to HTML is that as soon as you use a closing font
tag or go to the next table, the font will revert back to your
external style file.

Please note that many browsers can be set to override some of
these link colors and other attributes. The links in many of my
pages react slightly different in several different browsers
without conscious effort on my part. (Yes, that conscious part is
called a straight line.)
