While typing sentences I would like to change the text color at few places. To do so I have to do it manually by going to fonts pop section. Is there any way to create a keyboard shortcut so that I can change the text color of some word in sentence while I am typing?

For Word 2010 and 2013, go to File > Options > Customize Ribbon > Keyboard Shortcuts > All Commands (in left list) > Color: (in right list) -- at this point, you type in the short cut (such as Alt+r) and select the color (such as red). (This actually goes back to 2003 but I don't have that installed to provide the pathway.)
