When I click in the middle of a sentence that is a certain color, and start
typing-the color of my font doesn't change to be the color of the sentence
that I'm typing in. I know how to change the color of the whole
sentence-after I'm done typing, but I'd like it to adapt to be the same color
as the sentence I'm editing, while I'm typing.

I've gone through everything I can think of, and can't figure out a way to
make this happen. Any hints or suggestions would be very helpful!!

Thanks!!

The font color is probably reverting to that of its paragraph style.
Modify the style to have the desired font color, or create a character
style with the desired settings, and apply it as needed.
