Bug#443410: usability:changing font color does not affects new typed text

[Nadav Kavalerchik <nadavkav@netvision.net.il>]

Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 2.2.1-7
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
currently, i have to choose/select some text and then change its color.

using other wordprocessors, i am used to: change font/background color and 
then when i type anything it should be with the newly chosen font color. 

this feature should be in addition to writer's current behavior.

i think it's a usability issue but may be a bug ?
