Multiple hyperlink formats

Hello. I am trying to format two different hyperlink styles in my document. I would like external links to remain as blue and underlined before and after being clicked, but I would like internal 'table of content' bookmarks to stay normal text before and after being clicked. Is this possible?

    In a Word automatic Table of Contents in the Print View but not in Web view, the hyperlinks are invisible (plain text) in the TOC. Those in the document body use the Hyperlink character style.

    I actually figured it out. You can access the styles within word by using "ctrl + shft +alt + s". You can then click on "followed hyperlink" and then "options" in the bottom of the table. Format the text to prevent underline and color change. Then you have to manually format each text link, which allows you to differentiate in-text vs out-of-text links.
