How do I Lock a Color and Font?

Hello, I am working on a 200 question study guide currently. I would like to lay it out as the question is Times New Roman, the color red, and italic. Then I want my answer to be Times New Roman, the color black, and no formatting. I have ran into the issue to where every single time I move onto the next answer, it automatically begins the same font and color as the question. How do I lock the font so I don’t have to continue to manually I click italic, and change the color? Thank you all! Version 16.76
