Change font colour for all new typing in a document??

[Bill]

Hi All,

I've got a document with black text and it needs to stay that way. I don't
want to use track changes for this if possible. I would like everything I
type from now in this one document to be in another colour and cannot see
how to do it?

Anyone any ideas please?

Ta.
Bill

Word can't do what you want automatically except by using Track Changes. But
there is a more manual way...

Define a new style that includes the colour you want. This should probably
be a character style rather than a paragraph style (see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/stylesms/index.html) so you can apply it to
parts of a paragraph.

Apply the style to each new piece of text as you type it or paste it
(http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styles/ApplyAStyle.html).
