Hi Laura-
Just reading between the lines, if you _do not_ want to affect font color in
any program but Word, you can do so through FormatFont. Make whatever
specifications you wish, including font color, then click [Default] and
confirm Yes. Also, if you are prompted to save changes to normal.dot when you
Exit Word, confirm Yes again.
Note: This will _not_ change the Automatic color setting dictated by the
Windows Control Panel as Greg points out.

Laura,
The automatic color is determined by the "Windows Text" color set in Control
PanelDisplayAppearance. Changing this color will effect text color
globally in your windows applications.

In the toolbar in Microsof Word, you can see the button that changes
the font color. If you click on the little arrow to its right, you
see a drop-down menu. In the menu there is a box saying "Automatic"
and displaying what the current automatic color is (usually black). I
need to know how to change the automatic color. Thank you.
