The only way to get Word to use a different color for all new text
*automatically* is to turn on Track Changes
(
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/trac...gesWorks.html).
If that doesn't suit your purposes, the only other mechanism Word
offers is to define new styles that include the color you want, and
*manually* apply those styles to whatever new text you type. It isn't
going to happen automatically.

On a document that's already got section headings in black-colored text--I'd
like all new text that I type anywhere on the page to be dark red. Changing
the color in Font settings, or using the drop down on the toolbar, only
changes the color at the cursor position. As soon as the cursor is moved,
it's back to the Automatic color.
I don't really want to change Automatic, since I'll just have to change it
again for the next document I open. Is there a way to do this other than
having to frequently change the color of Automatic or mess with third-party
macros?
