document template and settings

[Guest]

When I type text color is blue. I've changed the font color and saved over
the normal.dot file. Still the text is blue when i open a new blank document.
Searched through the preferences, can't find a thing. I've also clicked on
the default button in fonts window after changing to automatic black. Nothing
worked. How do I set the defualt font color to black?

Possibly you have Track Changes enabled?

Wow, suzanne. That probably explains it. Track changes uses the color blue
for the author. I've check print preview, the text stays blue even during
printing. So, other than changing the color preferences or simply setting
them to none, is there a single box for turning track changes off/on?

Open the Reviewing Toolbar (View, Toolbars, Reviewing) and click on the
Track Changes Button or use Ctrl+Shift+E to toggle it off.

However, BEFORE turning off Track Changes, use the Accept ALL button or the
existing blue will be with you forever!
