Text color for all new text

He didn't say there's anything in the document but the headings! I'm
envisioning an outline waiting to be filled out.

Why can't you simply assign the color to the paragraph style you're
using for the body text?

(Modify Format Font)

like all new text that I type anywhere on the page to be dark red.
Changing
the color in Font settings, or using the drop down on the toolbar, only
changes the color at the cursor position. As soon as the cursor is moved,
it's back to the Automatic color.

I don't really want to change Automatic, since I'll just have to change it
again for the next document I open. Is there a way to do this other than
having to frequently change the color of Automatic or mess with
third-party
macros?-
