Really cool! How wonderful to be able to set up a color style one time and
apply it with a simple key stroke. Thanks so much for adding this style
option. I never really got the idea of how to use styles. This gives me
lots of ideas for future uses.
Often I have a need in my job to set text to Currier New type and a size of
8. I think this will be my first experiment.
Always,
Barbara Anne

There is a third way to add color which, under the right circumstances, may
be faster than Barbara's methods. I emphasize that the following
circumstances would need to be present for it actually to be faster:
1. There would be a need to use 3 or more colors, and they would need to be
used over and over again in one or more documents; and
2. Unless you know how to use style separators, you would need to do
paragraph at a time (text separated by paragraph markers).
Here is how it works:
1. Go to Format and then Styles;
2. Choose new style;
3. Name the style something like "Color_Blue" (or whatever color you like);
4. Use shift tab to get to the "format button" and then choose "font";
5. Use Barbara's method to select the desired color and then OK your way
back to the text;
6. Repeat the above for other colors you want to use.
Now, when you want a segment of text in a particular color, press Control
plus Shift plus S, down arrow or first letter navigate to "C" for color and
then pick the color you want. Hit enter and you've done it.
Save the document as a template, and the next time you want to do text in
colors, bring up the template and use these styles.As you can see,
initially, it takes a little effort to set up the color styles, but once it
is done, applying them is a breeze, but do remember the conditions that make
this method advantageous.

Thanks so much for this tip. I was totally unaware. I am formatting a
table assignment so I will use this method today.
Thanks again.

I have two very simple ways to add color to text. Press the JAWS key + the
number 5 key on each word in the below sentence. You will hear that I made
each word a different color.
Hello I am going to change colors in this sentence.
First way:
Highlight the text for which you want to change colors.
Press the application/context key (the key to the left of the right control
key).
Type F to get to the font menu. It will open automatically.
Tab three times to get to the color options.
Arrow down a few times and all kinds of color options will be available.
Arrow up and down and left and right for the different choices.
Press enter on your choice.
Tab to the OK button.
Note: I usually tab backwards, since this dialogue has a lot of options.
Pressing the JAWS key + the number 5 will confirm the color change for you.
Second way:
Once you have text with a desired color, simply copy the attributes of that
text and paste it to the text you want to also have that color.
Press CTL + Shift + C to copy only the attributes.
Go to the other text and press CTL + shift + V to paste.
This method of copying attributes was posted on this list a short while
back. I have used the heck out of it.
It works for color, bolding, simple changes in font types etc. It is
wonderful!
Now for a caution:
Whatever you type after text that has its' color changed will also have that
same color.
For example: the word "sentence" is deep sky blue. The period that ends
the sentence is black.
Text following the period will be black. But if you add words after the
word "sentence", they will be sky blue.
Always,
Barbara Anne

Hello:
Does anyone ever change the color of their text using word 07? I am having
one heck of a time doing this.
The problem I am having is for example, i select red and when I go back and
check the color it says brown!
For practical reasons, I am trying to create a document with blue, red and
white text? or green.
If someone can make sense of this I would appreciate it.
Thankyou!
