Text Changed Color: Why ?

[Bob]

Hello,

Using WORD 2007.

All of a sudden, all the text I write in a new document is a light shade
of blue, rather than the normal black.

What likely happened ?

How do I get it back to black, and keep black as the Default ?

Thanks,
Bob

In the default theme (Office), some colors are blue, such as the colors
of headings.

However, to change the color of the body text, you can do the following:
Create a new, blank document, for example by pressing Ctrl+N. In the
Styles pane (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S), click the Manage Styles button. On the
Set Defaults tab, set the "Font color" to "Black." Select "New documents
based on this template" and click OK. If/when you are prompted to save
the Normal template, choose to do so.
