Opera 6.0 and pseudo classes

Hi all,

Anyone know why Opera doesn't like my pseudo classes? It seems to ignore my
link declarations but listens to my visited and hover attritbutes. here's
what I have in my style sheet:

a.word:link{
 color: #000099;
 text-decoration: none;
 font-weight: bold;}


a.word:visited {
 color: #000099;
 text-decoration: none;
 font-weight: bold;}

a.word:hover {
 color: #3366ff;
 text-decoration: none;
 font-weight: bold;}

I have the styles set up exactly as the w3c recommends and in the right
order, but no go. It completly ignores the link class, but executes the
other 2 classes fine. Any ideas? BTW, it works fine in IE6, NN6 and NN4.7
(except the hover of course).

TIA,
Lisa
