That sounds really bizarre. Does it still happen in Safe Mode (press and
hold Ctrl while starting Word)?

Not sure how to do that but will look into it. Basically what is occuring
is
I select red for the font color and type. The text appears red on the
line I
am on and then when it wraps to the next line I am still typing in red but
the text on the first line defaults back to the automatic color rather
than
remaining in red.
