Changing color schemes in PowerPoint

[Guest Robbie21]

I use Powerpoint 2003. I am trying to edit the colors for hyperlinks and

followed hyperlinks within a presentation. I followed the help screen

instructions and was able to change and apply new colors for 'accent and

hyperlink' and accent and followed hyperlink.' But the color I changed for

the followed hyperlink now appears as background color for each slide. What

am I doing wrong here?

 

Thanks!
