Sure thing! Changing the default font color in Microsoft Word is actually quite simple. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open a new or existing Word document.
2. Click on the "Home" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
3. In the "Font" section of the ribbon, click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner to open the "Font" dialog box.
4. In the "Font" dialog box, select the font color you want to use as your new default by clicking on it.
5. Click on the "Set As Default" button in the bottom left corner of the "Font" dialog box.
6. In the "Set Default Font" dialog box that appears, select the "All documents based on the Normal.dotm template?" option.
7. Click on the "OK" button to save your changes.

That's it! Now, every new document you create in Word will use your new default font color instead of the previous "Automatic" color. Note that this change will only apply to new documents, not existing ones. If you want to change the font color in an existing document, you'll need to select the text you want to change and then choose a new font color from the "Font" section of the ribbon.
