Default color on text in a cell

Bob, thank you for your response.

I have used the code u have provided and i am still getting the same result
that I have originally.

Here the scenerio, I have manually enter 2 sentences into cell 'A1', the
first sentence, set the text to red whilst the 2nd with blue. I placed the
3rd sentence into cell A2 in Black text

Using your code, where u have 'text in red', replaced it bye referencing
cell A2 and changed the colorindex from 3 to 4
Ran the code, the result as follows
Sentences 1 & 2 in cell A1 changed all to blue, whilst the sentence cell A2
that appended to cell A1 show as green which is corrent.
Why did the sentence 1 change to blue?

Please help
