Default "automatic" font color black, not blue. How do I change this?

In a Normal style paragraph, go to Format | Font. Is the text color set to
Blue? If so, change it to Automatic and click Default... If it's already set
to Automatic (as your post implies), could it be that the Hyperlink
character style is applied to your text?

Also, if you are seeing the text in black but it's printing blue, then it
could be that your printer is using a composite black instead of true black
for the text, in which case likely your color printer cartridge is running
out of magenta and yellow inks.
