Hello everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I'm currently working on a paper in MS Word, and the journal I'm submitting to requires the use of a simple template with IEEE reference style. They've specified that I need to change the color of the numbers inside square brackets to blue. While I'm familiar with doing this in LaTeX, I'm having trouble achieving the same effect in MS Word. I've tried a few options without success.

Could someone please guide me on how to automatically change the color of the numbers inside square brackets to blue in MS Word? I've reached out to the journal, and although they mentioned they're in the process of transitioning to LaTeX, they informed me that previous submissions have managed to achieve this in MS Word.



Thank you in advance for your assistance.
