One example I can give you is for WORD 2007. Highlight the text. Press the Application key to bring up the context menu. Type F or arrow down to font. Press enter. Tab a few times until you get to the color button. Arrow down at this point and keep going down or arrow right until you get to the color you want to change to. Press enter on it and tab until you get to the OK button. Press enter to get out. With any other application, look for the font function. Color should be close behind. The font menu will also allow you to change the font (imagine) and the size of the font (large or small) and oh so much more. But I am afraid this is not a JAWS related function and so not appropriate for the list.
