How do I type add words to a document, but have the words I add in a
different color.

You can change the font color directly using the Font Color button on the
toolbar or through Format | Font, but I suspect what you're looking for is
the Tools | Track Changes feature.

This is close, but not what I am trying to do. A sixteen page "questions and
explain" paper was sent to me to assist in an upcoming test. The font the
questions are in are black and I want my responses to show in blue.

The frustrating part is having to go to the tool bar everytime I answer a
question and move to another part of the paper.

Is there a way to leave the questions in black and hav my responses in blue?

Create a paragraph style (or character style) with the blue font and assign
a keyboard shortcut to it.

Better yet, create an Answer paragraph style and make it the following style
for the Question style. Then when you press Enter at the end of a question,
you'll hav a paragraph in Answer style.

I had considered adding that option, but the document may have a space for
the answers and/or the answers may be required on the same line as the
questions.
