Default Colored formatting marks

You can format a tab as red but it still appears as black on the screen - at
least it does on mine.

I must also add that any technique of doing this is not formatting the marks
themselves - it is formatting the underlying document and not really
advisable.

If you're really determined, this can be done with Find and Replace.

Search
for a space, tab (^t), or paragraph mark (^p) and replace with ^& (Find

What
Text), formatted as Font color: Red.

I would like to show the formatting marks in red so they stand out. I

can
do
a find for a particular mark and replace the formatting (color) for each
instance automatically. But is there any way to do this for ALL

formatting
marks?
