If it's MX, highlight the link, and the Properties window at the bottom of the page should show info on the text, and on the second line there should be a line that includes:
Font [ ] Size [ ] [pixels] [ ] [ ]
with each [ ] representing a box for choices. That fourth little box should be a square with a tiny arrow at the bottom. Click the arrow, pick your favorite color, and presto!
Alternatively, type the color (or hex code) you want into the box just to the right of that square.
You can also create a universal style for all links on a page, or for visited links, or....
Works like a charm for me. Are you editing a page based on a template? If so you may need to edit the template itself directly. See if you can change the text of the link. If you can't, you need to track down why. Assuming you can change the text, then see what you're trying to change the color of.
At the bottom of the document editing window, just above the PROPERTIES window there is a thin bar that shows the different elements you are working with. It typically looks like:
<body><table><tr><td><p><font><a>
or whatever the structure of your page is. Highlight your link, and make sure the <a> is what's highlighted on this thin bar. Then try again. If the <a> looks like <a.style1> or similar, try choosing another style.
-or- right click your link, and try CSS STYLES and choose an option shown, or experiment with NEW or MANAGE STYLES. This is an alternative way to using the PROPETIES window at the page bottom.
