IN MS Word 2010 - I have text formatted in Times Roman font already in the document (which someone else wrote)- how do I set it so that when I type into the document between existing Times Roman words that it'll default to a different font (so I can easility distinguish between what I inserted and what was there originally from other writer (there are multiple editors and we'd like to be able to distinguish visibly between each). I can do so by formatting the text to a different font after I type, but I'm looking for a way for it to default to the different font (I tried seting the default font to somethin else, but it the insert still went to the font of the surrounding text thx

You cannot. When you start a new paragraph that paragraph will be in the style designated for following style (usually the same style) plus any direct formatting (such a a font) applied at the end of the old paragraph.

You could designate the following style to be something with a different font.

You could assign your different editors different styles with different fonts and attach that to a keyboard shortcut.

You could turn on track changes. (This is sort of what it is for.)

If the different editors have their own font, when they open the doc will the existing text change to their font?
How would the keyboard shortcut help- please explain, as I'm not understanding that.
thx
