The other way would be to define a Style with the required formatting. With
that method however, you would have to apply the style to each paragraph
that you typed, whereas, with the Tracked Changes method, all you have to do
is switch on the Revision Tracking and automatically, everything that you
add to the document will be formatted in the way that inserted text is set
to be formatted.

Thanks! I thought the answer would most likely involve tracked changes.
Didn't know I could do it the way you said. But I did and it works!
You said that is one way. Is that the best (only) way? Which is actually
OK.

I don't understand why this feature is not already easily implemented.
Maybe
it is...
You get a document that has a list like below in black.
fish

dog

tree

Your assignment is to write something under each item but you want what
you
type to be in blue. Is there a way to do that? (And I am not asking
about
typeing, then selecting, then making it blue. I want whatever I type no
matter where I type to be blue. The items in black must remain black.)
How
many times do you get a list of questions from your instructor and you
want
your answers in blue, italics, bold whatever???
