This is what my styles say that are based on the Normal style, however my
normal style has a font color of blue, where as all my other styles are
coming up black. I want all my styles to be blue, do I have to change every
single one of them, or is there a way to make the "Automatic" mean blue?
Thank you for your help.
 
If normal style is set to blue, then any style based on normal will be blue
too. Otherwise I'm afraid you need to change the other styles.

BTW, Automatic has a deeper meaning that 'black'. The colour of the font
when set to Automatic is the inverse of the background colour. So if the
background is White, the automatic font colour is black: if the background
colour is set to blue, the text colour changes to white (or yellow depending
on the intensity of the blue), etc.
 
Hi KMG,

To add one bit to the other replies the 'automatic' base color for text is controlled by your Windows color scheme. It's not always
'black' although that is the general default in many Windows schemes.
