How can I type in a different font color in existing document without the color changing back to black?

I am editting a document and want to type in red. However, the font color keeps changing back to black once I am done with the section, or when I scroll down.
I do not want to use "comment" function.
Could anyone tell me how to set a font color without changing?
Thank you

When you place the cursor in a block of text, it adopts the style attributes of the surrounding text; most of the time, for most users, this is the desired behavior.
It sounds like you want to use change tracking, which displays your additions to the text in a contrasting color, until you choose to accept (or reject) the changes. It might be worth looking into that.
If, as I read your question, you want to be able to place the cursor into various places in the text and type text that is really styled in a different color, I can think of two options that might help a little with that.
You can set a Character Style for the alternate color, and apply that after inserting the cursor, before typing. If you want, the Character Style can be assigned a keyboard shortcut.
You could also copy a single character with the desired font color to the clipboard and then after inserting the cursor, Paste and Delete (⌘V,⌫), which will allow you to continue to type in your preferred color. Of course, this only works if you don't need the clipboard for anything else.

    How can I insert a number of photos into a numbers doc without the file becoming too large?

    Use smaller photos.
    Seriously, reduce the file size of the photos in Preview, PhotoShop, iPhoto or other application before inserting tehem into the Numbers document.

  • How can one send email-sized photo files as attachments in Mail, without the photos appearing within the email?s

    How can one send email-sized photo files as attachments in Apple Mail, without the photos appearing in the body of the email?  If it can be done, it's not at all obvious, at least not to me.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

    The "View as icon" option shrinks the photo to an icon in the sender's Apple Mail, but how it appears to the recipient varies dependingy on what e-mail client he/she uses.
    Using Apple Mail 5.0 (the Lion version) at both ends, the sender can use the "View as icon" option to shrink his view of the photo to an icon, but the recipient also using Apple Mail 5.0 still sees the full photo in line with the message text. The recipient can then use the "View as icon" option to shrink it to an icon, but I don't think that's not what jackofarabia is looking for.
    As far as I know there is no way in the current Apple Mail to do what jackofarabia wants. There should be, but there isn't.

  • How can I wipe my hard drive and restore to factory settings without the use of the original OS CD?

    I have a 2010 MacBook and I need to wipe the hard drive and restore to factory settings.
    The problem is that even though I have the original disc, the CD drive has stopped functioning and will reject any disc put into it.
    Therefore, is there another method to do this without the CD?

    Not very easily.  To restore to factory software you need the original installation DVD (CDs).
    If you have another Mac which is the same make and model so that those installation DVD (CDs) would work, you can use a Firewire cable between the 2 Macs and then put your Mac to be reset into Target mode and use the other Mac to install the software.  However I suspect that is unlikely.

  • My FF desktop has no location bar. Where is it? How can I get to a different website or make a bookmark without it?

    I could not figure out how to get to a web site that I did not have a bookmark for. Nothing worked. I re-read the instructions for creating a bookmark, and determined that I needed the location bar. That should be up near the top. I don't seem to have a location bar on my screen when I run FF. I can't understand how to put a location bar up there. The VIEW legend will offer me the chance to click on TOOLBARS, but there is no location bar in the list offers. Where is it? Where'd it go? How do I get one? Why isn't it on screen? This is nuts.
    Thanks.

    As posted above, make sure that the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • I do not like the way IOS 7 looks but I want my FaceTime to work-how can I use FaceTime which is a feature I paid for without having to change my phone to iOS 7?

    I do not think someone should be forced to upgrade to iOS 7 (I think it's ugly design-wise) just to get FaceTime to work. I paid for a phone that has FaceTime as a feature and I think my feature should work without me having to change my phone.

    I also have this problem... For all of the people above who are getting snotty - you're being rather single-minded about your particular use of the iPhone. I live in an African country where it's typical to wait 10 minutes for a medium sized PDF file to upload. I purchased an iPhone 4S in large part due to Facetime being the most stable option for video calls with my parents. Here, I **cannot** update my iOS, the available internet simply does not allow for it. My parents, who live in Canada, but in a remote area where they rely on cellular data, also purchased iPhones in order to use Facetime. But Apple does not allow updating the iOS over data!
    The Windows example above is a perfect demonstration of just why this is unacceptable -- internet explorer does not simply cease to function one day (without warning), forcing me to update to a different version of Windows or use an alternative. If I start out having it, I will continue to have it.
    It is unacceptable to market a product for its features, then require the buyer to take additional steps in order to restore said feature. If I am required to update in order to get cool *new* features, that is totally fair. But it is not unreasonable to expect that a relatively new product should continue working as advertised, and as it has been!
    If anyone learns of any other possible solutions, I will be delighted to hear them.

  • How can i get music off my iphone onto my new computer without the music on both having songs deleted?

    I have a new computer and have put some music on it before I hooked up my iPhone. So now I have some music on my iPhone that I don't have on my computer and I don't want to 'sync' and lose some of the music on my iPhone.  So I would appreciate it if someone could help me out with getting the music off my iPhone and adding it to my new iTunes??

    The syncing of music is not a true sync process - not really a sync at all. It is a transfer process. No iTunes content in your iTunes library will ever be touched or removed by syncing an iDevice.
    Where is your old computer - the one with your iTunes library that was used to sync with your iPhone? Why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc.?
    If your old computer is still available, transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link. This will prevent any iTunes content from being removed from your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer.

    In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?
    When I select the Apple Symbols font from the list accessed from under Format/"Show fonts"/collection-all fonts/Apple Symbol, and then continue typing, I get normal letters, if in a slightly different font.

  • Can any one tell me how can I move to a different folder pictures, that I've cloned, without them staying aggregated? They all come together to the other folder and I don't want that- thanks

    Can any one tell me how can I move to a different folder pictures, that I've cloned, without them staying aggregated? They all come together to the other folder and I don't want that… thanks

    There's more to it than that.
    Folders in Aperture do not hold Images.  They hold Projects and Albums.  You cannot put an Image in a Folder without putting it in a Project or an Album inside that Folder.
    The relationship between Projects and Images is special:  every Image must in a Project, and can be in only one Project.
    Images can be in as many Albums you want.  Putting an Image in an Album does not move it from the Project that holds it.
    You can make as many Versions from a Master as you want.
    What you want to do may appear simple to you, but it still much adhere to how Aperture works.  I still can't tell exactly what you are trying to do (specifically: Images don't live in Folders; moving an Image from a Folder is non-sensical).
    It can be very confusing (and frustrating) to get going with Aperture -- but it does work, and can be enormously helpful.  If you haven't, take a look at the video tutorials on Apple's Aperture support site.
    I feel as though I haven't helped you much -- but we need to be using the same names for interface items in order to get anything done -- and my sense is that you still haven't learned the names of the parts.

  • How can I share between 2 different accounts.  we have a clinic that serves pediatics and unfortunately, they set up two different accounts within our agency.

    How can we share between two different accounts on the same iPad?  We have a therapy clinic with 2 devices and want to share apps. I did not set up the second one, but how can we fix this ?

         Hi Rosdy, to get the most out of iCloud it is recommended that you use the same account between devices. Thus whenever you buy something on your phone it becomes accessible from your laptop regardless of whether your synced it over usb or not. *
         For more information on iCloud usage please click here.
    * This feature requires that both devices be on the same WiFi network.

  • How can I create accurate decimal dimensions when creating a new document or using the art board in Illustrator CS6? When I type in a number with a decimal, it automatically rounds the number up.

    How can I create accurate decimal dimensions when creating a new document or using the art board in Illustrator CS6? When I type in a number with a decimal, it automatically rounds the number up.

    For my part you are welcome, sdowers.
    Unfortunately, the uncertainty arising from the rounding has been up several times here in this forum.
    I just came to remember a warning that needs to be given:
    The rounding of the representation of a numerical value may be harmless in itself, but if you use it for any operation that changes the value, such as multiplication or whatever, things will go wrong because the operation will be made on the basis of the rounded value instead of the true value. So, as in your first case in post #2, 39.625 rounded to 39.63 will become 79.26 instead of 79.25.
