Default color as red

[vijay.s]

how to make default color as red in calc?
Also i need a shortcut for making the particular texts to red from its default black color without using the mouse(only using the Keyboard)

Any way to achieve this?

The default color of text is black, and you probably want to keep it this way. If not, you can edit the default style to display red font. You could create a new style where you specify "red" and apply that style where needed.

2nd part of your question: record a macro and assign it a keyboard shortcut.
