Font Color
I can change the background color but I can not change the font color. When I go there and click on Red it always goes back to automatic and black. Please help. Thank you.

Awesome! You have been a great help to a non-expert computer user. I
followed your instructions and got exactly what I wanted.
Thanks again and have a great week.
My name is also Dan, so you have a good name!

Strange thing: When I am using the paragraph style, Text Body, I
can modify it by changing the font color in the Font Effects Tab. I can
also change the font color for a character style using the same Tab for
this character style. This has been true ever since OOo 1.03 and
possibly sooner.
A way of changing font color is to select the text that you want to
change and then from the Format toolbar select the font color you want
to change using the Font Color icon. Changing the font color should be
done using styles instead of the Font Color icon though.

Technical you can't change the colour of a font, but you can change the colour of a
paragraph or character. There are different ways how you can set these colours,
In you paragraph and character styles or overwrite it from the to menu bar.
So if you can explain where and how you tried to update the colour we can give you some hints.
