Hello everyone. When I select text in Word, the color is black, which is strange and has been the case for a week. I am asking for help to return to the normal color, which is light blue.

      Thank you very much, it has been resolved. The problem was the voice recognition. Thanks to everyone.

    Hello,

    There is no "normal" text color in Word; the default and most commonly used font color is black, but nothing prevents you from writing in your chosen color by manually selecting a font color or by applying it to a style (home menu by selecting and/or modifying the desired style) or specific template used for this document or all documents created, which then need to be modified accordingly.

    If I copy and paste from the Web into a "black" Word document, the result will be in the font of that text and most often analyzed as a hyperlink, thus blue by default, but that's another question.

    Actually, it seems I may not have been understood. When you press Control+A to select text in Word, the selected text is black instead of light blue. That's what I want to fix.

      I don't know, I highlighted a document to check, when I press CTRL+A, the entire selection appears with a grey background, but when I paste it into another document, it remains highlighted in blue.

      Check what the copy-paste options are in Advanced Options, keep source and see the third item, does the destination document have a different style initially?

    Hello,

    The default selection color in Word is gray. To return to this color, you need to make changes in the registry.

    What is your version of Office?
